Getting the Code

Compilation of the code can take a long time; therefore, we recommend running practice case studies with pre-compiled code.
If you are interested in compiling the code, do that as a separate exercise.

 

     Pre-compiled code for Real and Ideal Data Cases

The pre-compiled code is available from:

/ AND
/ AND
/ (You only need this if you plan to run ideal cases)

Copy the tar files to your working directory.

From your working directory:
cp /    .
cp /    .
cp /    .
The above tar file (WRFV3_IDEAL_bin.TAR.gz) holds 2 directories: one for all ideal cases (built serially) and another for all the 3D ideal cases (built in parallel)

Now unzip and untar the files (see below for unzip and untar commands)
This will generate the following directories:

WPS
WRFV3
WRFV3_IDEAL
WRFV3_IDEAL_DM

Since the tar files are big, remove them (using the Unix command rm) after you have untarred the files. 

These executables were compiled with the following options:

WRFV3:
WPS:
WRFV3_IDEAL:
WRFV3_IDEAL_DM:

How to unzip and untar: The command to unzip code is gunzip, e.g.        gunzip foo.tar.gz will unzip foo.gz and create the file foo.tar The command to untar a file is "tar -xf", e.g.,        tar -xf foo.tar will untar the contents of the file foo.tar and unpack all the files and directories that were stored in foo.tar Alternatively, combine these by typing:        tar -xvzf foo.tar.gz A file extention .tgz, is a "short-hand" version of .tar.gz, meaning the file has been tarred and zipped.
