Welcome to the WRF Tutorial Practice Exercises!





Please read the following important notes before proceeding:

  • Complete the Initial Exercise and then the Single Domain case before other exercises.

  • Save output files, as later exercises may require them.

  • Completing all exercises is not required; focus on those relevant to your research after the initial exercises.

  • Once comfortable, try the Set-up and Run Your Own Case exercise.

  • Refer to the WRF-ARW User’s Guide and recorded lectures, as needed.
