How to extract cloud cover and precipitation from WRF output file?

[Din19]

Hello WRF community.

I need to get cloud cover and precipitation values from the WRF output files. How can I do this? Can I use GrADS? what is the name of these variables in the WRF output file?

Thank you very much.

Kind regards.

Good evening,

I am not familiar enough with grads to tell you how to make charts with it. But you can use this command to export the variables.

ncdump -h your_wrf_output_file.nc >> variables.txt

This uses ncdump which is a part of netcdf-bin package on apt.

You can install it using this command in the terminal

apt install netcdf-bin

if you need to install it using sudo do this command

sudo apt install netcdf-bin
