Graphics: ARWpost
ARWpost is a Fortran program that reads WRF-ARW input and output files, then generates GrADS output files.
Once the output files have been generated, GrADS can be used to produce horizontal or vertical cross-section plots of scalar fields (contours) or vector fields (barbs or arrows), vertical profiles and soundings.
Features and Limitations
- Requires large intermediate data set (seen by some as a disadvantage).
- Vertical interpolation to pressure, height levels, etc. is not done 'on-the-fly' and the ARWpost software needs to be re-run for each type of vertical interpolation.
- Can process model input and output files.
- Can process output from real-weather, 2-D and idealized simulations.
- Only netCDF data can be processed.
- A limited number of diagnostics are available.
- Can process and plot global or lat-lon WRF model domains (rotated lat-lon domains are not currently handled).
Requirements
GrADS visualization software (http://grads.iges.org/grads)
