I am upgrading older wrf models to wrf 3.7. One goal was to add windgust to the output parameters. It appears clwrf_gust_wind was added in wrf 3.3.1, but the information available on how to accomplish that seems very limited (from forum and google searches). It appears additional parameters were required in the compilation (-DCLWRFXTR -DCLWRFGHG -DCLWRFHVY \ added to configure.wrf), changes were required to files in the /Registry folder, and "clwrf_gust_wind = 1" must be added to namelist.input (unclear what section?). It also appears that "output_diagnostics = 1," must be set in the time_control section, but that is less clear.
The standard namelist.input glossaries (https://esrl.noaa.gov/gsd/wrfportal/namelist_input_options.html, https://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2014/5089/downloads/namelist.READMEdo not include any of the clwrf parameters apparently added in wrf 3.3.1.
Is there a better resource on how to implement gust_wind?
I do see references to people computing gust as a post-process. Is this still the recommended approach?
Thank you,
Alan
