Dear WRF user support team,
I am using the ARW model version 3.7.1 and I would like to have the wrf output files directly in netcdf4 format instead of netcdf classic format. From the user guide (ARWUsersGuideV3.7) I take the following information:
>>
Beginning with V3.5, the compression function in netCDF4 is supported. This option will
typically reduce the file size by more than 50%. It will require netCDF4 to be installed
with the option --enable-netcdf-4. Before compiling WRF, you will need to set
the environment variable NETCDF4. In a C-shell environment, type setenv NETCDF4
1, followed by ‘configure’ and ‘compile’.

<<
I followed all the provided instructions above and I also set the environment variable WRFIO_NCD_LARGE_FILE_SUPPORT to 1 (as advised by the configure script) but after compilation the wrf output files are still in the netcdf classic format.
Is there any important step that I missed? Unfortunately the link provided in the user guide leads to “Page not found” and I couldn’t find any other information regarding WRF and netcdf4. So I hope you can help me.
Thanks in advance.
