Hello everyone,
I'm familiar with WRF model, but now I would like to start with WRFDA. I have rain gauge hourly data and want to know the possible options and workflows to assimilate this information to adjust WRF model forecast.
In the User Guide there is a section called "Precipitation Data Assimilation in WRFDA 4DVAR", but is based on NCEP Stage IV radar and gauge precipitation data. I want to use measurements from other sources and parts of the world, is it possible?
I don't see a clear path to follow since it says: Users wishing to use their own observations instead of NCEP Stage IV are responsible for writing a Fortran main program and call subroutine writerainobs (in write_rainobs.f90) to generate their own precipitation data.
So any additional information would be very helpful!
