@ ECMWF test dataset available for # WRF users - ECMWF has set up a public FTP that contains a test dataset of the parameters required to run the US Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF). https://confluence.ecmwf.int/display/UDOC/ECMWF+WRF+Test+Data have a look to the following links all related to a tool to read grib files stored in the CDS http://www.bopen.it/ http://xarray.pydata.org/en/stable/ https://github.com/ecmwf/cfgrib https://confluence.ecmwf.int/display/CKB/How+to+migrate+from+ECMWF+Web+API+to+CDS+API ERA5 & RRA https://climate.copernicus.eu/going-forward-looking-back https://climate.copernicus.eu/regional-reanalysis-europe Dick Dee presentation @ AMS ERA5: state-of-the-art global atmospheric reanalysis at ECMWF , video Python http://www.learnpython.org/ https://www.codecademy.com/catalog/language/python ECMWF Summer of Weather Code (ESoWC) 2019 Important dates: 21 Jan - 21 Apr Call for tender 22 Apr Winners 1 May - 31 Aug Cod

Several tutorials on how to install WRF are available online. Basically the common root is the Official Tutorial from mmm.ucar . Some other noticeable websites are: WRF on Ubuntu server 16.04 again WRF on Ubuntu server 16.04 WRF on CENTOs WRF on Archlinux (with some nice ncl examples) WRF on a generic Linux machine   WRF Forum (section Installation)   etcetc...   Among the several tutorials you find online I'd like to add another (useless?) guide (or script) I used to automate the compilation of the WRF/WPS systems, with some special notes. It is definitely a non-exhaustive script and it might have some (hopefully non-destructive errors), so....  >>>use at your own risk<<< The prerequisites are: the netcdf libray (version 4.x) successfully compiled and installed (here in /usr/local) gcc, gfortran (version 5.4.0 or higher) #!/bin/bash # It is supposed that you have the following sources files in $SRCDIR # ARWpost_V3.tar.gz mpic
