Graphics: RIP - Obtaining Source Code

The source code for the RIP package is available from the download page:

http://www2.mmm.ucar.edu/wrf/users/download/get_source.html

NOTE: From the above page, choose either "New Users" (users will be asked to register - it is free), or "Returning Users" (users must supply their email address before they can download the code again).

If you are running the code on a MAC, or if you plan to compile the code with G95, get the "no_pointer" code, as the original code makes use of CRAY pointers which are not supported by G95 compilers.

 

gunzip and un-tar the code

It is best to untar the code at the same level as your WRF and WPS code, rather than inside either of these directories.

 

Once untarred, you will see the following files and directories under the main RIP/ directory:

Doc/

arch/

clean
