Building the WRF Code
- Get the WRF zipped tar file
- WRFV2 from http://www.mmm.ucar.edu/wrf/users/get_source.html
- always get the latest version if you are not trying to continue a long project
- transfer the zip file to mandhan using either sftp or scp
- login to mandhan, go to the directory you copied zip file to
- unzip and untar the file
- gzip -cd WRFV2.2.TAR.gz | tar -xf -
- again, if there is a later version of the code grab it, 2.1 is just used as an example
- cd WRFV2
- export NETCDF=/apps/netcdf-intel-3.6.6
- ./clean -a
- ./configure
- choose one of the options
- usually, option "1" is for a serial build, that is the best for an initial test
- ./compile em_real (or any of the directory names in ./WRFV2/test)
- ls -ls main/*.exe
- if you built a real-data case, you should see ndown.exe, real.exe, and wrf.exe
- if you built an ideal-data case, you should see ideal.exe and wrf.exe
