Version 4.7 (January 2018)
V4.7 contains capabilities for plotting MPAS output. MPAS plotting requires putting MPAS output on a WRF grid using the "mpas2wrf" utility, which is contained in the mpas2wrf.tar file.
For information on RIP and on its MPAS plotting, please consult the RIP 4.7 Users' Guide.

For the most recent updates see our RIP GitHub and
mpas2wrf GitHub pages

ARWpost Version 3.1
Updated March 2, 2011.
This version no longer requires WRFV3 to compile. There is also no longer an option for vis5D output (removed due to no update to vis5D since 1999, and newer 3D software for displaying WRF data is now available). This version includes a bug fix to correctly handle P_TOP.
