./clean -a

./configure

./compile em_real

This should produce the following in main/*.exe:
wrf.exe -- model executable
real.exe -- real-data initialization
ndown.exe -- off-line, one-way nesting
tc.exe -- TC bogussing, serial only

cd ../WPS

./clean -a

./compile >& log.compile

This should produce:

geogrid.exe -> geogrid/src/geogrid.exe
ungrib.exe -> ungrib/src/ungrib.exe
metgrid.exe -> metgrid/src/metgrid.exe

TEST RUN

In WPS directory, edit namelist.wps:

max_dom = 1,
geog_data_path = '/gaia/software/src/WPS_geog/'

Check domain:

module load ncl_ncarg
export NCARG_ROOT=/gaia/software/src/ncl_ncarg-6.2.1
ncl util/plotgrids_new.ncl

run ./geogrid.exe then make sure that the static file has been created:

geo_em.d01.nc

Download the Tutorial case study data

Link in the AWIP Vtable:

ln -sf ungrib/Variable_Tables/Vtable.AWIP Vtable

Link-in the GRIB data by making use of the script link_grib.csh

./link_grib.csh ../../../DATA/TESTWRF/2000012

Edit namelist.wps, and set the following:

start_date = '2000-01-24_12:00:00',
end_date = '2000-01-25_12:00:00',
interval_seconds = 21600,

Run ungrib to create the intermediate files:

./ungrib.exe >& ungrib_data.log

Run metgrid.exe to interpolate the input data on our model domain:

# module load netcdf-fortran/4.4.1 
./metgrid.exe

Change into WRF directory.

cd ../WRFV3p7/run

Link-in the met_em files created with metgrid.exe

ln -sf ../../WPS/met_em.d01.2000-01* .

namelist.input should already have default settings. Run real.exe. Check that the following two files have been created:

wrfinput_d01
wrfbdy_d01

Run wrf.exe. Check that the following file has been created:

wrfout_d01_2000-01-24_12:00:00

Move output file to Mac, and plot something with Python:
