The NCAR Command Language (NCL) was designed to
manipulate and display a wide variety of datasets. This instructional session
will give participants an overview of the capabilities of NCL, as well as how
to display WRF model data specifically.
An overview of the Model Evaluation Tools with an
emphasis on the updates in the latest version 2.0 will be covered in this
tutorial.
GSI
The Gridpoint Statistical Interpolation (GSI)
software package is designed to be an operational, state-of-the-art
meteorological data analysis tool. This instructional session will
provide the participants with an overview of GSI's current capabilities,
plans for maintaining and supporting a Community GSI package, and basic
instructions on how to install and run GSI.
This
tutorial provides an overview of Unidata's Integrated Data Viewer (IDV) and
how it can be used with WRF model output. IDV is a freely available 3D
visualization and analysis tool that allows integration of model and observed
datasets. This session will include an overview of IDV functionality
and investigation of a case study that includes WRF output, satellite, radar
and observational data. A new version of the IDV (2.7) will be
available in time for the workshop and attendees are encouraged to bring a
laptop with that version installed. IDV can be downloaded from http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/downloads/idv.
This
radiance tutorial will be presented in two parts. The first part will cover
basic principal of satellite radiance measurements, radiative transfer model,
and direct radiance assimilation. The second part will emphasis on practical
aspects of assimilating radiance data using WRF-Var system, such as channels
selection and bias correction as well as some diagnostics tools.
VAPOR: Understanding WRF
Datasets with
Interactive 3D Visualization
This tutorial is a hands-on course, presenting a
variety of techniques for understanding WRF output through the use of 3D
visualization.The goal is to
enable attendees to easily use 3D graphics and animation in the analysis of
WRF output.Attendees are not
expected to be familiar with 3D graphics.The visualization will be performed using VAPOR
(http://www.vapor.edu), an interactive visualization tool that has been
developed at NCAR for the understanding of turbulence data.
This course will be held at the NCAR CTTC
computer classroom in building CG2, a short walk from the WRF workshop
sessions in building CG1.Attendance is limited to 32, with one or two attendees per computer.
