Welcome to WRFtamer
Runing WPS and WRF could be done by hand, but this includes some repetetieve and cumbersome tasks including:
- compiling WPS and WRF
- linking NWP data
- linking Vtable
- modify namelist.wps and namelist.input
- running geogrid.exe, ungrid.exe, metgrid.exe and real.exe
- running wrf.exe
- postprocessing
- management of multiple simulations.
Since this process is prone to erros, and a good documentation of experiments is vital for scientific work, we created WRFtamer. WRFtamer performs most tasks listed above with a few command lines. In addtion, the work is organized and documented for later reference and documentation. Key Features of WRFtamer include:
- Organize projects and experiments with a defined directory tree.
- Link files as required.
- Run WPS on demand.
- Automatically document your work to be able to reproduce an experiment with minimal effort.
- Postprocess output.
- Archive completed runs.
- Get an overview of used computing ressources of a project (runtime, disk usage etc).
