Description

Describe the Problem

When domains span the international date line (IDL), the domain wraps around the earth the wrong way east-to-west.

Relevant Deadlines

July 1 -- before travel

Bugfix Checklist

  • Create a new configuration: When drawing or typing domain boundaries
  • Running the model: The WRF namelist needs to be updated appropriately
  • Visualization: The visualization product creation step needs to detect and correct when a polygon spans the IDL (add 360º to all coordinates for OpenLayers to function properly)
