Need suggestions about the post-processing on Mac M2 chip

[Boyan Xin]

Hi，I'm now using my Mac (with M2 chip, arm64) to run the wrf model, details shown as below:
- MacBook Air (M2)
- MacOS Monterey
- WRF 4.3.3 & WPS 4.4

I can now successfully run WPS and WRF models (single-domain cases), but the post-processing part doesn't seem to advance properly.
Following the instruction on the online tutorial:
- For NCL, it needs the 'libgfortran.4.dylib', however, the gcc version which installed on my laptop is 12.2.0 with 'libgfortran.5.dylib'.
- I searched for wrf-python, but it also seems not support the arm64.

Need some suggestions about how to deal with the post-processing part with Mac.
Really appreciate!

Could you tell me how you installed WRF on the Mac M2? I keep getting an (ARM64) error when I compile the program.

Thank you.

Please send emails to ncl-talk@ucar.edu for questions about NCL
I am not sure whether wrf_python is supported or not. But you may try to reach wrf-python people by support@unidata.ucar.edu

Hi! I've always used Ubuntu but I recently bought a macbook (pro m4) and now I'm setting all the work environment I previously had on Ubuntu - where everything worked great. I had the problem with wrf-python too and I installed it from source code. The installation was successful, but now I'm having some issues with the scripts I was using for post-processing.

I don't know if you fixed your problem, if so can I ask you what did you do?
