20CR
The latest (recommended) version of the NOAA/CIRES Twentieth Century Global Reanalysis is Version 2c:
http://rda.ucar.edu/datasets/ds131.2/
I registered for an account, and downloaded data using "Data Access" > "Get a Subset"
Land cover and geometric height were downloaded from a different page:
http://rda.ucar.edu/datasets/ds131.1/index.html#sfol-wl-/data/ds131.1?g=2
3D: Temp, U, V, HGT, RH
2D: Surface Pressure, MSLP, Skin Temp, 2mT, 2mRH, 10mU, 10mV
If the WRF model is going to be run with the Noah LSM model, then at least 2 levels of Soil Temperature and Soil Moisture are required.
Soil Height is recommended but not required. If Soil Height is supplied, then SOIL Temperatures and TSK can be adjusted to the WRF model terrain height.
Water equivalent snow depth (SNOW) is a nice field to have, but not required.
SEAICE is good to have for a high latitude winter case, but it is not required.

ERA-20C
ERA-20C is ECMWF's first atmospheric reanalysis of the 20th century, from 1900-2010. It assimilates observations of surface pressure and surface marine winds only.

Run WRF with 20CR
Change into WPD directory and clean up any previous data:
rm geo_em* GRIBFILE.* met_em.* FILE\:* *.log
# module load netcdf/2014_10 Run goegrid.exe.
Link in the AWIP Vtable. I've written one called Vtable.20CRv2c based on Vtable.NARR. Differences:
use SPECHUMD at 2m PMSL GRIB = 2 ST GRIB = 11 SOILHGT GRIB = 8 ln -sf ungrib/Variable_Tables/Vtable.20CRv2c Vtable
Link-in the GRIB data.
ls
./link_grib.csh ../../../DATA/20CRv2c/
Edit namelist.wps.
start_date = '1910-05-20_06:00:00', end_date = '1910-05-21_06:00:00', ... e_we = 67, e_sn = 54, geog_data_res = '10m', dx = 50000, dy = 50000, map_proj = 'lambert', ref_lat = 48.049, ref_lon = 8.07, truelat1 = 50.0, truelat2 = 46.0, stand_lon = 8.0, ...
Run
./ungrib.exe
Run
# module load netcdf-fortran/4.4.1 ./metgrid.exe
Change into WRF directory. Clean up any old data.
cd ../WRFV3p7/run rm met_em.* wrfinput_* wrfbdy_* namelist.output wrfout_* rsl.*
Link-in the met_em files created with metgrid.exe
ln -sf ../../WPS/met_em.* .
check namelist.input. 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
xxxx
I should check out my old work files on metstore:
/store/CONOR/BACKUP/Code/WRF/WRF-20CRV2
