calwrf and WRF version

[Natalia Galkina]

Hello! I wanted to ask those of you who already use Calwrf module.

Is it true that versions of WRF higher than 4 are not compatible with calwrf?

What is the highest version of WRF I can deploy then -3.8 or 3.9?

Thank you for info in advance!

Hi Natalia,

The default output file format (wrfout files) has changed starting with WRF version 4.0 and now uses netCDF4 compression which is not supported by CALWRF.

In your WRF namelist file, you can use the option “use_netcdf_classic = .true.” in the &time_control section so that the wrfout files will be recognized by CALWRF.

Already compressed WRF output files can also be converted to the classic format by using nccopy.

Hope this will help.

Thank you, Hugo!

This solution is elegant enough and I am glad that it allows to avoid forced attachment to older versions of WRF, because of one module.

all the best,

Natatalia Galkina.
