HALO_EM_E_AD.inc appears to be missing from the source tarballs, but it is referenced in
mediation_pertmod_io.F:1003
Other files like HALO_EM_PHYS_A_TL.inc are missing as well.
Where can these files be found? This prevents building MPI versions of WRFDA...
 
Hi plantain,

Those files should be included in the directory of WRFPLUS/inc if you compiled WRFPLUS successfully. Please refer to Users' Guide as below:
----------
> gunzip WRFV4.3.tar.gz

> tar -xf WRFV4.3.tar

> mv WRF WRFPLUS

> cd WRFPLUS

> ./configure wrfplus

As with 3D-Var, “serial” means single-processor, and “dmpar” means Distributed Memory Parallel (MPI). Be sure to select the same option for WRFPLUS as you will use for WRFDA.

Compile WRFPLUS
> ./compile wrfplus >& compile.out

> ls -ls main/*.exe

If compilation was successful, you should see the WRFPLUS executable (named wrfplus.exe):

53292 -rwxr-xr-x 1 user man 54513254 Apr 6 22:43 main/wrfplus.exe

Finally, set the environment variable WRFPLUS_DIR to the appropriate directory:

>setenv WRFPLUS_DIR ${your_source_code_dir}/WRFPLUS
