    How to prepare crop data for WRF_NoahMP outside US?

    Hello everyone, I am currently using WRF_NoahMP to conduct irrigation experiments. Since my case is not in the United States, I need to prepare the crop data myself. My process is as follows: 1. I have 1km planting data for three types of crops, using this data to calculate the crop fraction in...

    Is it possible to apply heat to specific domain ?

    I want to study sea-land breeze in different thermodynamic case. case 1 : sea-land temperature difference is 5 degree C. case 2 : sea-land temperature difference is 10 degree C. it isn't correctly '5' or '10' degree C, but I want to see the difference of wind, snow in different sea-land breeze...

    How to perform a long-time WRF simulation effectively?

    Hi all, I'm planning a long-term WRF simulation (about 20 years, 2000-2020) using six-hourly input data from ERA5. I am considering two options: Running annually with restart files. Running each year in parallel with additional spin-up time (e.g., 2 weeks). Given that my input data remains...

    Custom update z0 at every 1h period?

    Hi all, I was just wondering is there a way to provide a timeseries of z0 for a specific grid which WRF would then update in it's simulation every 1hr or any other given timestep? Is there a possibility of using Run-Time IO to somehow provide custom derived z0 to be used by wrf instead of wrf...

    Problem with PBL = 5 (MYNN2.5) in WRF 4.5.1

    Hi everyone, My collagues and I have been trying to run WRF 4.5.1 in a HPC. We've noticed that when we use the MYNN2.5 scheme for pbl an error occurs. The simulations stops within its first 10 seconds before any timestep calculation even happens. Has anyone reported this before? 1. We are...

    Noise in the WFP parameterization,result

    Hello, I am having a noise istarting from the beginning of the simulation while using WFP , i have no idea how to resolve it, i tried all the physics i have ! Can any one please help me how to get rid of it, it is creating this disruptancy in my child domain. the plot shown below is a...

    how to estimate the mechanical effect of terrain to wind? run a dry WRF experiment?

    Hi all, I am trying to run a terrain-sensitive experiment, to extract the mechanical effect of terrain only and does not consider the moist process. So, I plan to run a dry WRF experiment and then modify the terrain, is it a correct solution?(which should be similar to what is done by...

    cu_physics : on and off for 30km and 10 km domain

    I am performing a sensitivity study to see the effect of cumulus parameterization (KF Scheme). I am using two nested domains; 30km and 10km (study area). I am performing two experiments where in control, I am running the model with KF Scheme and in test, I am switching it off in both domain...

    Cumulus: on or off for 5 km grid spacing?

    Hello everyone, I am interested in precipitation output from WRF. Currently I am defining my domains and I would like to ask if nested domains of 15km and 5km are a suitable choice for precipitation? Additionally, I am unsure if I need to activate the cumulus scheme for both domains, or only for...

    How to derive Specific Humidity from WRF output ?

    Hi there, I have been trying to find the variable for Specific Humidity (sph) at single level/ pressure levels from the output files. Does it come with any specific parameterization schemes.? Although I tried some combinations and have not been able to find it Thank you so much for your time...

    Wrf-python package

    Hello, I understand that wrf.getvar will give both the speed (dim 0) and the direction (dim 1) V1 = wrf.getvar(ncdin, "uvmet10_wspd_wdir", units="m s-1",timeidx=wrf.ALL_TIMES,meta=False)[1,...] But, I would like to ask about the way that direction is provided by the package. 0 degrees is wind...

    Turn off Surface Sensible Heating (HFX) from the WRF Simulation

    Dear WRF Community, I am trying to run a case by turning off Surface Sensible Heating (HFX) from the simulation. I use the Revised MM5 for the surface layer physics (option 1 in namelist.input). I got some ideas from this previous thread. I modify module_sf_sfclay.F file I changed the line...

    Surface roughness estimation over ocean grid points

    Hi! I was making an LES simulation over ocean and seaice grids. While analyzing the outputs, I found that the sea surface roughness length (ZNT) is in correlation with the wind speed (checked for various heights up to 50m from the surface). Although the correlation is not precisely 1, I was...

    Error Running Deng Parameterization

    Hello, I need helping running the WRF-Solar model. When I execute the WRF-Solar model without the shcu_physics, it compiles successfully. However, upon adding the shcu_physics, I encounter the following message: 'Tile Strategy is not specified. Assuming 1D-Y WRF TILE 1 IS 1 IE 100...

    spp within the RUC LSM

    Hello, I am interested in using the spp_lsm scheme for the RUC land surface model using WRFv4.5, however when I look through module_sf_ruclsm.F I don't see where the perturbations are applied to the parameterization. It seems like the perturbations are supposed to be added in the subroutine...

    How to compute Net radiation at the Ground Surface

    Hi All, How do I compute the net radiation at the ground surface? Do I just sum the SWDOWN ("DOWNWARD SHORT WAVE FLUX AT GROUND SURFACE") and the GLW ("DOWNWARD LONG WAVE FLUX AT GROUND SURFACE"), or there is more variables and some equation to consider? Thanks in advance for your help...

    NOAHMP questions

    I have a few questions about NOAHMP 1. Do you have to change the geogrid file link from geogrid.arw to geogrid.arw.noahmp to use noahmp? 2. Which optional or supplementary files are needed to use noahmp for geography 3. If you don't call the noahmp geogrid file and you put the noahmp commands...

    WRF debug: Floating point exception: Grell-Freitas (cu_scheme = 3)

    Hi, running on a debug compiled WRF v4.5.1, I step into a floating point exception right at the beginning of the simulation with the Grell-Freitas cumulus scheme: (...) WRF NUMBER OF TILES = 1 [irene2054:3782323:0:3782323] Caught signal 8 (Floating point exception: floating-point invalid...
