WRF with WPS

Overview

The Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model is a next-generation mesoscale numerical weather prediction system designed to serve both operational forecasting and atmospheric research needs.

The WRF Preprocessing System (WPS) is a set of three programs whose collective role is to prepare input to the real program for real-data simulations. Each program performs one stage of the preparation:

You can load WRF 4.8.0 (including WPS 4.7.0) using the following command: module load WRF

WRF/WPS Components

WRF has been compiled with full MPI support and includes the following binaries that are automatically aliased when the module is loaded:

• ideal.exe

• ndown.exe

• real.exe

• tc.exe

• wrf.exe

The WPS binaries are also aliased:

• geogrid.exe

• metgrid.exe
