⁠e-WRF: Educational purposes

This page contains scripts for running e-WRF, that is WRF for educational purposes. WRF stands for the "Weather Research and Forecasting" model, developed by NCAR (see copyright information below). The files were created in collaboration between M2Lab.org⁠ and Yarker Consulting⁠.

⁠Compilation

The model is compiled and ready for use together with our coursework.

⁠This is how you get started

Assuming that you have Docker installed, then open Terminal (or Powershell on Windows). Then type:

docker run -it climatologist/m2lab_org:ewrf42 /bin/bash

In the above command you can change the WRF version, for instance to ewrf431 for the Docker image related to WRF 4.3.1. After you start the container, then you can get basic geog files and some test data and namelist templates by typing:

./runme_getdata.sh

You are now ready to run WPS and WRF.
