Note about running WRF for CMAQ

Looks like for WRF meteorology grids to be compatible with emissions file grids in CMAQ, the wrf grid needs to have an odd number of grid cells in both the x and y directions such that the projection centerpoint (eg. 40N 97W) is the middle of the center grid, not the vertex of four center grids.
Check lat-lons (xlat_m, xlon_m) from the wrf produced geo_em.d01.nc file compared to the projection centerpoint or known emissions grid lat lons to verify grid match.
