We are offering a WRF workshop designed for both new and experienced users. The workshop will focus on three key aspects of the model: running WRF, compiling the code, and modifying its components. Our tutorial draws on several online WRF guides but has been tailored specifically for the Grace cluster at Yale’s High Performance Computing center.
Using the latest version of WRF, the workshop will guide participants step by step through its programs in an interactive, group setting. While learning to compile WRF, we will also explore the capabilities of the Grace supercomputer and the range of available Fortran compilers. The workshop will conclude with a demonstration of model modification, highlighting how different physical schemes can change results.
All work will be carried out in a Linux environment. Participants will learn how to access the Grace cluster and transfer files between the cluster and the Earth Observation Lab (EOL) local machines. Postprocessing of model output will be done in Python on the local machines, while compiling and running will be handled on the Grace cluster.
