Install and test WRF

The WRF ARW model is a fully compressible, nonhydrostatic model (with a hydrostatic option). The WRF ARW model contains initialization programs (ideal.exe and real.exe), a numerical integration program (wrf.exe), and a program to do one-way nesting (ndown.exe). The WRF 3 supports a variety of capabilities, including:

• Real-data and idealized simulations

• Various lateral boundary condition options for both real-data and idealized simulations

• Full physics options

• Non-hydrostatic and hydrostatic (as runtime options)

• One-way, two-way nesting and a moving nest

• Applications ranging from meters to thousands of kilometers

• Install WRF solver (general)
• Install WRF solver on ring
• Install WPS for pre-processing
• Install NCL for post-processing
• Pre-processing using WPS
• Test WRF using real cases
• Post-processing using NCL
