Obtaining hydrometeor mixing ratios

[stanleyakor]

Hi All,

I am new to using WRF. I want to obtain and plot the domain-wide average vertical profile mixing ratios for the hydrometeor classes (snow, ice, rainwater, cloud water, and graupel). Still, I don't know what variables to get them from in a typical WRF output file.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,
These variables are QVAPOR, QCLOUD, QRAIN, QSNOW, QICE, QGRAUP, QHAIL etc.

Note that they may not be always available because some schemes don't output all these variables.

Thanks a lot for the quick response.
