Note on compiling and running on NCAR's IBMs

If you are not changing the code, pre-compiled WRF executables are available on blueice and bluevista under directory ~wrfhelp/WRFV2/main/, where both real.exe and wrf.exe are compiled with 64-bit, MPI, RSL_LITE option (compile option 3). This allows handling of large domain and nesting cases.

Pre-compiled WPS executables, geogrid.exe, ungrib.exe, and metgrid.exe, are available under ~wrfhelp/WPS/. geogrid and metgrid are compiled with MPI option. ungrib.exe is compiled with GRIB 1 option. Utility programs are available under ~wrfhelp/WPS/util/.

geogrid input data are available on IBMs under /mmm/users/wrfhelp/WPS_GEOG/. Specify this path in namelist.wps.

Batch job scripts can be found on either blueice or bluevista under ~wrfhelp/BATCH/.
