Dear all,
I am pleased to announce that after sometime, I managed to introduce the WRF-CORDEX module in the official (in fact, in my fork of the GIT) WRF's GIT.
The CORDEX-WRF module was initially dedicated to provide the outputs requested in any CORDEX exercise. This tends to be a tedious post-processing work, in sometimes is as long as the simulation by it self. the goal is to provide the diagnostics whilst the integration of the simulation. Enormously reducing the need for post-processing by increasing a little the integration time of the model.
Aside to provide an answer to an specific climate related demand from the CORDEX WRF community, it grew fast to provide:

Hope is useful to the community.

Aside to provide an answer to an specific climate related demand from the CORDEX WRF community, it grew fast to provide:
- Additional non-specific CORDEX diagnostics
- Generic definitions of certain diagnostics that might be scheme dependent
- Introduction of additional variables in the integration-time p-level vertical interpolation

Variables are grouped in different levels which are activated through pre-compilation flags activated in the
configure.wrf file. Code is available from my fork of the WRF code (from v7.1)
Code:
git@github.com:LluisFB/WRF.gitIn the cdxwrf branch
Code:
git clone --recurse-submodules -b cdxwrf git@github.com:LluisFB/WRF.gitCurrent version of the module is v.3 and it provides about 150 new diagnostics a new section in the
namelist.input labelled &cdxwrf with new parameters. Outputs are grouped in 3 files:wrfcdx_d<domain>_<date>: main output file atauxhist19with most of the variableswrfhfcdx_d<domain>_<date>: high-frequency (e,g, 10 minutes) output file atauxhist18only for precipitation flux and COLMAX implemented to assist the tracking convective systemswrfpress_d<domain>_<date>: p-level interpolated variables atauxhist23with the additional variables
