Purpose
- Generate VIS5D files from WRF netCDF files
- ONLY WRF output files in netCDF format can be converted
Necessary Software to run Scripts
- Obtain the WRF2VIS5D TAR file from the WRF
Download page
- VIS5D software
Hardware
The code has been ported to the following
machines:
- DEC Alpha
- Linux
- Sun
- SGI
- IBM
Steps to Run Scripts
- Unzip and untar the WRF2VIS5D TAR file - you will have the
following files:
Makefile
README
module_map_utils.F
module_wrf_to_vis5d_netcdf.F
module_wrf_to_vid5d_util.F
wrf_v5d_input
wrf_to_vis5d.F
- Compile
- To compile the code, EDIT the Makefile
to select the compiler flags for your machine
- make
- this will create a wrf_to_vis5d
executable
- Edit the wrf_v5d_input:
- set times to be processed
- set variables to be processed
- define the input file
- set levels to interpolate too
- Run
- wrf_to_vis5d wrf_v5d_input
MyOutput
- This will create a MyOutput
file for use with VIS5D
- NOW YOU ARE READY TO VIEW THE OUTPUT WITH VIS5D
