WRF & MPAS-A Support Forum

Introduction
Welcome to the WRF/WRFDA/WRF-Chem/MPAS Users' Support Forum.
Please read the GUIDELINES & SUGGESTIONS below.

REGISTRATION:
- You must create an account to post.
- First-time posts will need manager approval (may take 2-3 business days).


POSTING TOPICS:
**First use the search utility to see if there is an existing solution to your inquiry.**
- Post inquiries to the relevant forum or sub-forum.
- Open a new topic (under the appropriate forum) for each new question.
- State problem or error in the subject line.
- Attach relative files (e.g., namelists, error logs)
- Select "Notify me when a reply is posted" box (when posting an inquiry)
- Do not post inquiries more than once, or in multiple locations.
- If having WRF/WPS compiling problems, please first see the WRF/WPS Compiling web page and ensure that you have completed all steps and passed all tests.


ATTACHING FILES:
- While text box is open, select tab with 3 horizontal lines to attach files.
- Try to avoid posting screen shots of error messages, as the content is not searchable. Most info can be put into a .txt file and attached.
- If attaching packaged files, use zipped or .tar format (instead of .rar format).
- If getting unrecognized suffix error, add ".txt" to the end of the file and try again.
- If unable to upload files due to large size, package files as a single .tar file, and upload to our NextCloud storage: and then provide us with a link to the file.
- To download a file that has been placed in Nextcloud, visit this link to search for the file.


RESPONSES:
- The NCAR team attempts to reply to all inquiries within a timely manner. This can sometimes take a few days due to other obligations.
- The NCAR team does not work nights, weekends, or holidays.
- We strongly encourage users in the community to respond to inquiries if they have experience with the topic. This can help expedite the response process.
