Tutorial Overview
A five-day Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model tutorial will be
offered in the week of July 23 - 27, 2007 at the NCAR Foothills Laboratory,
Boulder, Colorado.
The tutorial will consist of lectures on various components of the WRF
modeling system for both the Advanced
Research WRF (ARW) and Nonhydrostatic
Mesoscale Model (NMM), and hands-on practice sessions. The topics include:
- WRF Pre-processing System
- Dynamics and numerics of WRF ARW and NMM solvers
- WRF physics
- WRF software
- Post-processing graphical tools
- WRF-Var
- Hands-on practice
Requirements
Basic knowledge of atmospheric science and numerical modeling as well as Fortran and Unix is required for the class. All participants are strongly encouraged to work through one or more of the online tutorials for ARW, NMM, and WRF-Var, depending on your interest, prior to attending the tutorial class.
Available Spaces
Due to the constraints of physical space and workstations, the maximum number of people we can accommodate is 50, and we will accept 15 people on a waiting list for any cancellations. Register early, as registration always exceeds capacity!
