Hi,
I am starting work in the WRF model with initial data from the IFS model. In addition to the basic fields necessary for the WRF model, I additionally have the following fields in the 3D files (at model levels):
Specific cloud ice water content
Specific cloud liquid water content
Specific snow water content
Specific rain water content
In the manual for the WRF 4.2.2 model, I found that the model loads similar 3D fields, but these are:
Rain Water mixing ratio
Snow Water mixing ratio
Ich Water mixing ratio
etc.
Is there any method of converting the fields, eg converting the IFS field data "Specific rain water content" to the values "Rain Water mixing ratio" which correctly reads ungrib.exe and metgrib.exe. And of course the other fields I wrote about above are similar.
The described fields are available in the new version of the GFS model (Rain Water mixing ratio, Snow Water mixing ratio) to improve rainfall forecasting.
I will be grateful for any help.
