| 44 | How to compile and run? |
|---|
| 45 | ----------------------- |
|---|
| 46 | |
|---|
| 47 | - In WRFDA directory, type 'configure wrfda - this will create a configure.wrf |
|---|
| 48 | file that has appropriate compile options for the supported computers. |
|---|
| 49 | |
|---|
| 50 | Note: WRF-Var requires netCDF, BLAS, LAPACK, BUFR libraries. If your WRF-Var package include |
|---|
| 51 | radiance assimilation capability, the CRTM and RTTOV are needed. |
|---|
| 52 | If your netCDF library is installed in some odd directory |
|---|
| 53 | , set environment variable NETCDF before you type |
|---|
| 54 | 'configure wrfda'. For example, |
|---|
| 55 | |
|---|
| 56 | setenv NETCDF /usr/local/netcdf-pgi |
|---|
| 57 | setenv BLAS /usr/local/blas |
|---|
| 58 | setenv LAPACK /usr/local/lapack |
|---|
| 59 | setenv BUFR /usr/local/bufr |
|---|
| 60 | |
|---|
| 61 | setenv CRTM /usr/local/lapack |
|---|
| 62 | setenv RTTOV /usr/local/bufr |
|---|
| 63 | |
|---|
| 64 | - Type 'compile all_wrfvar' when your ae ready: |
|---|
| 65 | |
|---|
| 66 | - If sucessful, this will create da_wrfvar.exe and a set of utilities |
