The WRF (Weather Research & Forecasting) Model is a state of the art mesoscale numerical weather prediction system designed for both atmospheric research and operational forecasting applications. It features two dynamical cores, a data assimilation system, and a software architecture supporting parallel computation and system extensibility. The model serves a wide range of meteorological applications across scales from tens of meters to thousands of kilometers. The effort to develop WRF began in the latter 1990’s and was a collaborative partnership of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (represented by the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) and the Earth System Research Laboratory), the U.S. Air Force, the Naval Research Laboratory, the University of Oklahoma, and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
For researchers, WRF can produce simulations based on actual atmospheric conditions (i.e., from observations and analyses) or idealized conditions. WRF offers operational forecasting a flexible and computationally-efficient platform, while reflecting recent advances in physics, numerics, and data assimilation contributed by developers from the expansive research community. WRF is currently in operational use at NCEP and other national meteorological centers as well as in real-time forecasting configurations at laboratories, universities, and companies. 1
The WRF/WPS compile process requires a signficant amount of resources. Builds must be
run as Interactive Jobs to avoid errors.
To start an interactive job suitable for building WRF/WPS, run
srun --nodes=1 --ntasks-per-node=4 --mem=8g --time=3:00:00 --qos=short --pty $SHELL
.
Due to the way WRF operates, users are expected to compile it themselves on HCC resources.
To simplify this process as much as possible, HCC provides an WRF
module which loads all of
the needed dependency packages and sets up the build environment. Example outputs showing the
correct choices for the configure
scripts are also provided.
The WRF
module sets the various environment variables to their proper values. Users should
not set these variables themselves, nor modify their ~/.profile
files.
The following sections assume you have downloaded one of the WRF/WPS releases
and unpacked it somewhere with sufficient space to work. The extraced WRF and WPS
directories should be placed side-by-side in a new empty folder and renamed to WPS
and
either WRFV3
for WRF versions 3.x, or WRF
for WRF versions 4.x.
All commands in each section are run starting relative to the top-level directory, denoted here as <WRF root
>
or <WPS root>
.
In order to build WRF 3.x successfully , the configure source file requires patching. For convenience,
these are contained in a single patch file which can be applied. Note that applying the patch
should only be done once after unpacking the source code. Subsequent builds (even after
running clean -a
) do not require rerunning the patch command. Starting in the top level of
the WRF source code directory, the patch may be applied by running
[demo01@c0604.crane WRF]$ wget https://hcc.unl.edu/docs/attachments/wrfv3_rpc_types.patch
[demo01@c0604.crane WRF]$ patch -b -p0 -i wrfv3_rpc_types.patch
The build process for WRFv3 must be run in serial only (i.e. omitting the -j
option to ./compile
).
Attempting to build WRFv3 with more than the default number of build tasks will result in errors.
The following example commands show how to compile WRF v3.x.
[demo01@c0604.crane WRFV3]$ ls

If the build finishes successfully a message will be printed, and the four executables
(ndown.exe
, real.exe
, tc.exe
, wrf.exe
) will be present in the main
directory.
In order to build WPS 3.x successfully , the configure source file requires patching. For convenience,
these are contained in a single patch file which can be applied. Note that applying the patch
should only be done once after unpacking the source code. Subsequent builds (even after
running clean -a
) do not require rerunning the patch command. Starting in the top level of
the WRF source code directory, the patch may be applied by running
[demo01@c0604.crane WPS]$ wget https://hcc.unl.edu/docs/attachments/wps3_configure.patch
[demo01@c0604.crane WPS]$ patch -b -p0 -i wps3_configure.patch
