Subscribe to WRF News
=====================

|

"wrf-news" is an email list used by NSF NCAR/MMM to communicate with WRF users. Emails are sent to this list for new WRF releases, updates, bug fixes, and user meeting announcements. Subscribers may also access archived emails.

Upon subscribing to the wrf-news email list, you also become a registered WRF user. For registration purposes, it is recommended to use a permanant email address (such as an email from your workplace). Some commercial email sites will deactivate an email account if it is not used for a period of time. We use the email lists only for the purposes stated above.
