WRF Preprocessing System Version 3.5: Updates

WPS Version 3.5

Version 3.5 of the WRF Pre-Processing System (WPS) was released on 18 April 2013.

Note: The V3 WRF model is NOT backward compatible with old V2 input files. One must rerun WPS to generate data for real/wrf.

Also see 'Known Problems' in this release.

New terrestrial data sets:

  • 40-category NLCD 2006 land use for use with LSM option 7 (PX LSM) (CONUS only; thanks to EPA)

  • MODIS FPAR monthly vegetation fraction based on data from 2001 - 2010 (global; based on MODIS product MCD15A2. Thanks to Central Weather Bureau of Taiwan and M. Barlage of NCAR)

  • NUDAPT urban morphology from the National Building Statistics Database (44 selected U.S. cities; thanks to T. Glotfelty and J. Ching) (Click here for details on how to use this dataset).

New features:

  • Support for GRIB data on Mercator projections

  • Improved checking for 32-bit or 64-bit netCDF libraries in configure script

  • New Rapid Refresh Vtables, Vtable.RAP*

  • New METGRID.TBL file for use with RAP data

Bug fixes:

  • Corrected map projection codes in output from rd_intermediate

  • Fixes to ungrib's handling of forecast hours in GRIB files

  • Various small bug fixes

Other:
