Compile WRF for Real Data Cases

On some computers (e.g. some Intel machines), it is necessary to set the following environment variable before one compiles: setenv WRF_EM_CORE 1

Type:

./compile

You will be given the following choices:

Usage:

compile [-d] [-j n] wrf     compile wrf in run dir (NOTE: no real.exe, ndown.exe, or ideal.exe generated)

or choose a test case (see README_test_cases for details) :
compile em_b_wave
compile em_esmf_exp
compile em_fire
compile em_grav2d_x
compile em_heldsuarez
compile em_hill2d_x
compile em_les
compile em_quarter_ss
compile em_real
compile em_scm_xy
compile em_seabreeze2d_x
compile em_squall2d_x
compile em_squall2d_y
compile em_tropical_cyclone
compile exp_real
compile nmm_real

compile -d     compile without optimization and with debugging
compile -j n   parallel make using n tasks if supported (default 2)
compile -h     help message

Since we are compiling a WRF ARW real data case, type:

./compile em_real >& compile.log

Check the compile.log file for any errors. If your compilation was successful, you should see the following executables created in the main/ directory:

main/ndown.exe  main/nup.exe  main/real.exe   main/wrf.exe

Used for one-way nesting Upscaling - used with WRF-Var WRF initialization for real data cases WRF model integration

These executables will be linked from the main/ directory to the directories run/ and test/em_real/, which is the directory from which you will be running the code.
 

	The executables were not created Check the compile.log file carefully for any errors. Most common errors are: - Incorrect netCDF version (e.g., netCDF complied with PGI, but you are compiling the code with Intel compilers). - Required libraries not installed, or not installed correctly. - Paths to libraries not found. If you need to correct a problem in the configure.wrf file, be sure to ./clean -a ./configure then make the change to configure.wrf before your attempt to compile the code again.
	If you need to report the problem to wrfhelp Repeat what you have done one more time: ./clean -a ./configure ./compile em_real >& compile.log Then send the compile.log file, together with your computer/compiler information to wrfhelp

 

If the WRF has compiled correctly, you are ready to install WPS.
