Compile WRF-ARW for an idealized cases
 

Copy and Untar the code

 

Configure WRF

cd WRFV3

./configure

1. Pick the machine and configuration of your machine from the list
   NOTE: For idealized cases, serial compilation is recommended


2. Methods of running the code


3. Pick a nesting option
     Compile for nesting?
   (0=no nesting, 1=basic, 2=preset moves, 3=vortex following) [default 0]:
   For idealized cases pick "No Nesting" (0)

Compile WRF

./compile (type this to see all test cases, pick one of the idealized cases)

Now compile the case you are interested in. (Disregard cases em_real, exp_real, and nmm_real).

./compile em_{idealcase}  >& make.log

This might take a while to compile.
Once it is finished, check to see if these executables are present in the main/ directory:
wrf.exe, and ideal.exe,

ls -l main/*.exe

If not, check make.log to look for compile errors (search for string 'Error').

If you change cases, you will have to recompile the code.
