Using future CMIP6 data as initial and boundary condition for WRF

[Israt246]

Hi, I have basic understanding of how to run WRF but I am still new to running WRF simulations. I need to predict 'wind gust' with WRF using future CMIP6 data as initial and boundary conditions. However, most CMIP6 models do not have 'wind gust' as a variable. In that case, will WRF be able to output 'wind gust' if the CMIP6 data did not have 'wind gust'?

I look forward to your reply!
Best,

Israt,
When you run WRTF, you can set the option "output_diagnostics = 1", which enables output of u10max,v10max,spduv10max, which can be used to roughly represent wind gust. Description how to use this option can be found here.

Additional information:

output_diagnostics = 1 ! add 36 surface diagnostic arrays (max/min/mean/std)
auxhist3_outname = 'wrfxtrm_d<domain>_<date>' ! file name for added diagnostics
io_form_auxhist3 = 2 ! netcdf
auxhist3_interval = 1440 ! minutes between outputs (1440 gives daily max/min)
frames_per_auxhist3 = 1 ! output times per file

Please try and let me know if you have any issues.

Hi Ming,
Thank you so much for your reply. It seems the hyperlink that you added is not working and it does not direct me to a new site. Could you please share the link?
Best,

Here is the link to the option in WRF user's guide. You can search the word "output_diagnostics" and find its description.
