WRF and WPS Frequently Asked Questions and Solutions

1. Compiling

   • WRF/WPS computation requirements

   • Configuration options

   • Installing WRF and WPS

   
   

2. Input data

   • WRF mandatory input fields

   • Obtain input data (meteorological data, static geographic fields, and high-res terrain/landuse for moving nests)

   • Using Non-GRIB-formatted meteorological input (includes converting from netCDF to intermediate format)

   • Processing ERA5 input

   • Using 2024+ ECMWF Input

   • Using your own input

     • Using Masked Fields

     • Adding a geographic static dataset

     • Adding a new hydrometer field

   • Landmask differences

   • Using multiple input data sources

   • Missing Data Values (examples for RH and surface values)

   • Modifying Input (includes examples for SST, landuse, and albedo)
