AMSR-E data ingestion to WRF model

Hello everyone,

I have a question about how to ingest AMSR-E 2023 soil moisture data into the WRF model to enhance the initial boundary conditions for rainfall prediction over the Indian region.

Could someone guide me through the steps?

Thanks for your assistance

Aanchal,

I guess you are trying to process AMSR-E 2023 soil moisture , and use it to replace the soil data in your large-scale forcing data. Please let me know if I am wrong.

If this is the case, you can always read the AMSR-E 2023 soil data, and write the data to intermediate format files. Suppose you have such files like SOIL:yyyy-mm-dd_hh, you can add the file to fg_name in namelist.wps, i.e.,

fg_name = "FILE", "SOIL"

FILE is your large scale forcing data, and SOIL is your AMSR-E soil data. It is better that you don't include SOIL data in FILE

Depending on the levels of AMSR-E soil data, you may also need to modify the initialization code "share/module_soil_pre.F".

Hope this is helpful for you.

Hi,

I have a GeoTIFF file containing the mean soil moisture data for August 2022, and I need to ingest this data to overlay the recent soil moisture on my WRF model domain.

To achieve this, I need to convert the GeoTIFF into a WRF-compatible format, ensuring it matches the format of the static dataset outlined in the WRF user guide. I would greatly appreciate your help with a step-by-step guide on how to perform this conversion so that I can successfully run geogrid and run the model with new datasets.

Thanks!

Our website is going through reconstruction, which probably leads to some issues.
By the way, since WRF has been updated to V4.0 years ago, would you please look at the the website here, which has similar content to that for WRFV3.
