-Now we can configure our test experiment, following the instructions in [wiki:WRF4Gexperiment_wrf4g] and [wiki:WRF4Gresources_wrf4g]. Note that, as it is a reforecast, we need to use the [wiki:WRF4Gexperiment_wrf4g#Multipledatesruns multiple dates configuration variables].

Note that, as it is a reforecast, we need to use the [wiki:WRF4Gexperiment_wrf4g#Multipledatesruns multiple dates configuration variables]. A typical configuration for a reforecast test would be:

+end_date="2010-01-02_06:00:00"
+chunk_size_h=36
+multiple_dates=1
+  simulation_interval_h=24
+  simulation_length_h=36
+}}}
 
 Once we are finished, we can use the [wiki:WRF4GCommandLineInterface command line interface (CPI)] to prepare and submit our test experiment. Before submitting check in the output of wrf4g_prepare that the chunks and realizations being created are those that we wanted.

 Probably it will fail in the first attempts, so don't worry. If it fails, see [wiki:WRF4GTutorial2#HowtomanageWRF4Gerrors how to manage WRF4G errors] to look for the error.
 
-Once the test experiment has run successfully, we should check that the output looks fine and that it contains all the variables that we want. Tools like [http://meteora.ucsd.edu/~pierce/ncview_home_page.html ncview] and [https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/ncdump-man-1.html ncdump] are very useful for this task.

This step is specially important if we are using a [wiki:WRF4G/WRF4GPostprocessor postprocessor] in WRF4G to filter variables because of disk space limitations.
