Model description

Weather Research and Forecast model (WRF, Skamarock, 2008) is a limited area atmospheric model developed by a consortium of american institutions with contributions from the whole community. It is a non-hydrostatic primitive equations model used in a large variety of research areas.

Techincal aspects of the model (v 4.0) are provided in this pdf

Compilation

Model (version 3.9.1) has already been compiled in hydra

For compilation using the gcc copmilers see here WRFgcc

  • From an instalation folder [INSTALLDIR] (/share/WRF, in hydra), creation of a folder structure 
[INSTALLDIR]/[WRFversion]/[compiler]/[compilation_kind]/
  • As example WRFv3.9.1 compiled with intel-compilers with distributed memory only 
$ mkdir /share/WRF/WRFV3.9.1/ifort/dmpar/
$ cd /share/WRF/WRFV3.9.1/ifort/dmpar/
  • Decompressing code source files 
$ tar xvfz ../../../WRFV3.9.1.1.TAR.gz 
$ mv WRF WRFV3 
$ tar xvfz ../../../WPS.9.1.TAR.gz
  • Compilation of model (wrf.exe, real.exe)
    • Going to the model source folder 
cd WRFV3
    • Declaration of location of netcdf libraries and large file support (> 2GB) 
$ export NETCDF='/usr/local'
$ export WRFIO_NCD_LARGE_FILE_SUPPORT=1
    • Running configuration of the compilation and picking up INTEL (ifort/icc) and distributed memory (dmpar) (option 15 and `basic' 1) 
$ ./configure
    • Making a copy of the configuration file to make two modifications 
$ cp configure.wrf configure.ifort.dmpar.wrf
    • Modifying the file configure.ifort.dmpar.wrf 
#DM_FC          =      mpif90 -f90=$(SFC) 
#DM_CC          =      mpicc -cc=$(SCC) -DMPI2_SUPPORT
DM_FC          =      mpif90 
DM_CC          =      mpicc -DMPI2_SUPPORT
    • Using the modified file 
$ cp configure.ifort.dmpar.wrf configure.wrf 
$ ./compile em_real >& compile.log
    • If everything went fine one should have 
$ ls main/*.exe
main/ndown.exe  main/real.exe  main/tc.exe  main/wrf.exe
    • And empty: 
$ cat -n compile.log | grep Error
$ cat -n compile.log | grep undefined
  • Compilation of the WRF-preprocessing (WPS: geogrid.exe, ungrib.exe, metgrid.exe)
    • Going there 
cd ../WPS
    • Running configure and picking up 20 (Linux x86_64, Intel compiler (dmpar_NO_GRIB2)) 
./configure
    • Compiling 
./compile >& compile.log
    • If everything went right, one should have 
$ ls */*.exe
geogrid/geogrid.exe  util/avg_tsfc.exe      util/int2nc.exe 
metgrid/metgrid.exe  util/calc_ecmwf_p.exe  util/mod_levs.exe
ungrib/g1print.exe   util/g1print.exe       util/rd_intermediate.exe
ungrib/g2print.exe   util/g2print.exe 
ungrib/ungrib.exe    util/height_ukmo.exe

Forcings

Atmospheric forcings

Provide the atmospheric conditions to the model at a given date.

  • There is a shared space called /share
  • At hydra all forcings are at: 
/share/DATA/
/share/DATA/re-analysis/ERA-Interim/
    • Global monthly files at 0.75° horizontal resolution and all time-steps: 00, 06, 12, 18 are labelled as:
      • ERAI_pl[YYYY][MM]_[var1]-[var2].grib: pressure levels variables (all levels). GRIB codes as:
        • 129: geopotential
        • 157: relative humidty
        • 130: Temperature
        • 131: u-wind
        • 132: v-wind
      • ERAI_sfc[YYYY][MM].grib: all surface levels variables (step 0)
    • To download data:
      • Generate files from ECMWF web-page ERA-Interim
      • Go to the folder in hydra 
cd /share/DATA/re-analysis/ERA-Interim/
      • get the file (as link from ECMWF web-page (right bottom on `Download grib'), as e.g.: 
$ wget https://stream.ecmwf.int/data/atls05/data/data02/scratch/_mars-atls05-a82bacafb5c306db76464bc7e824bb75-zn7P44.grib
      • Rename file according to its content 
$ mv _mars-atls05-a82bacafb5c306db76464bc7e824bb75-zn7P44.grib ERAI_sfc201302.grib
  • ERA5
    • Thus, part of ERA5 forcings are: 
/share/DATA/re-analysis/ERA5/
  • 'NCEP-NNRP1'
    • Thus, full NCEP-NNRP1 forcings are (NOTE: no land data!!!): 
/share/DATA/re-analysis/NCEP_NNRP/


Morphological forcings

Provide the geomorphological information for the domain of simulation: topography, land-use, vegetation-types, etc...

  • In WRF there is a huge amount of data ans sources at different resolutions. At hydra everything is already there at: 
/share/GEOG/
  • They are ready to be use

Model use

WRF has two main parts:

  • WPS: Generation of the domain, initial and boundary condition: Runs 4 programs:
    • geogrid: domain generation
    • ungrib: unpack atmospheric forcing \verb+grib+ files
    • metgrid: horizontal interpolation of the unpacked atmospheric forcing files at the domain of simulation
    • real: generation of the initial and boundary conditions using \verb+metgrid+ output
  • WRF: model it self: wrf.exe

At hydra all the code is already compiled at (with folders WPS and WRFV3: 

/share/WRF/[WRFversion]/[compiler]/[compilation_kind]/

As example WRFv3.9.1 compiled with intel-compilers with distributed memory only 

/share/WRF/WRFV3.9.1/ifort/dmpar/

WPS

Let's assume that we work in a folder called WORKDIR (at users' ${HOME} at hydra). As example, let's create a two nested domain at 30 km for the entire South America and a second one at 4.285 km for Córdoba mountain ranges (see the WRF/namelist.wps)

(thumbnail)
WRF two domain configuration 30 and 4.285 km
  • geogrid: generation of the domain
    • Creation of a folder for the geogrid section 
$ mkdir geogrid
$ cd geogrid
    • Take the necessary files (do not forget opt_geogrid_tbl_path = './', into &geogrid section) in namelist !!): 
 $ ln -s /share/WRF/WRFV3.9.1/ifort/dmpar/WPS/geogrid/geogrid.exe ./
$ ln -s /share/WRF/WRFV3.9.1/ifort/dmpar/WPS/geogrid/GEOGRID.TBL.ARW  ./GEOGRID.TBL
$ cp /share/WRF/WRFV3.9.1/ifort/dmpar/WPS/geogrid/namelist.wps  ./
    • Domain configuration is done via namelist.wps (more information at: WPS user guide) 
vim namelist.wps
    • Once it is defined, run it: 
./geogrid.exe >& run_geogrid.log
    • It will create the domain files, one for each domain 
geo_em.d[nn].nc
    • Some variables:
      • LANDMASK: sea-land mask
      • XLAT_M: latitude on mass point
      • XLONG_M: longitude on mass point
      • HGT_M: orographical height
    • At hydra the domain for SESA at 20 km for WRFsensSFC is located at 
home/lluis.fita/estudios/dominios/CDXWRF
  • ungrib: unpack grib files
    • Creation of the folder (from $WORKDIR) 
$ mkdir ungrib 
$ cd ungrib
    • Linking necessary files from compiled source 
$ ln -s /share/WRF/WRFV3.9.1/ifort/dmpar/WPS/ungrib/ungrib.exe ./
$ ln -s /share/WRF/WRFV3.9.1/ifort/dmpar/WPS/link_grib.csh ./
    • Creation of a folder for the necessary GRIB files and linking the necessary files (4 files per month) 
$ mkdir GribDir
$ cd GribDir
$ ln -s /share/DATA/re-analysis/ERA-Interim/*201212*.grib ./ 
$ cd ..
    • Re-link files for WRF with its own script 
./link_grib.csh GribDir/*
    • Should appear: 
$ ls GRIBFILE.AA*
GRIBFILE.AAA\  GRIBFILE.AAB  GRIBFILE.AAC  GRIBFILE.AAD
    • We need to provide equivalences of the GRIB codes to the real variables. WRF comes with already defined GRIB equivalencies from different sources in folder Variable_Tables. In our case we use ECMWF ERA-Interim at pressure levels, thus we link 
ln -s /share/WRF/WRFV3.9.1/ifort/dmpar/WPS/ungrib/Variable_Tables/Vtable.ERA-interim.pl ./Vtable
    • We need to take the domain file and get the right dates 
$ cp ../geogrid/nameslist.wps ./
    • Files can be unpacked 
./ungrib.exe >& run_ungrib.log
    • If everything went fine, should appear: 
FILE:[YYYY]-[MM]-[DD]_[HH]
  • And... 
$ tail run_ungrib.log

NO working restart

Since a given version there is a need to include a new namelist parameter (in &time_control section) [WRF restart] in order to make available the option to continue a simulation from a given restart 

override_restart_timers                = .true.

If we want to get values at the output files at the time of the restart, you need to add at the (&time_control section) the parameter 

write_hist_at_0h_rst                   = .true.
