* Some obsolete or unused namelist variables are removed, some new namelist
variables are added, purposes of some namelist variables are changed.
See WRFDA/var/README.namelist for descriptions of supported namelist
variables.
- Changes to obsproc:
* the executable is renamed to be obsproc.exe from 3dvar_obs.exe and
namelist.3dvar_obs is renamed to be namelist.obsproc to reflect
its capabilitiy of producing WRFDA-ready observations for 3DVAR, FGAT,
or 4DVAR applications.
See WRFDA/var/obsproc/README.
* compilation of obsproc.exe is included in "compile all_wrfvar"
- Changes to diagnostic output files
* gts_omb_oma becomes gts_omb_oma_01 (01 indicates outer loop index)
* observations that fail check_max_iv are listed in rej_obs_conv_01.000
( 01 is outer loop index, 000 is processor id)
* qcstat_conv_01 (01 indicates outer loop index) contains observation
number counts
- Most of the scripts under WRFDA/var/scripts are removed from the main source
code tar file. They can still be downloaded separately.

How to compile and run?
-----------------------
- In WRFDA directory, type 'configure wrfda - this will create a configure.wrf
file that has appropriate compile options for the supported computers.
Note: WRFDA only requires netCDF library starting with V3.1.1.
Install netCDF library with the same compiler that will be used to compile WRFDA.
NCEP BUFR and CRTM 2.0.2 libs are included in the WRFDA tar file.
Set environment variables properly according to your applications
before you type 'configure wrfda'. For example,
setenv NETCDF /usr/local/netcdf-pgi
setenv BUFR 1 (optional, set to compile WRFDA with NCEP BUFR capability)
setenv CRTM 1 (optional, set to compile WRFDA with CRTM capability)
setenv RTTOV /usr/local/rttov10 (optional, set to compile WRFDA with RTTOV capability)
- Type 'compile all_wrfvar' when you are ready:
- If sucessful, this will create da_wrfvar.exe and a set of utilities
in directory WRFDA/var/build/.
- cd to the appropriate test or run directory to run WRFDA.
Some basic instruction/namelist.input are available in sub-directories
of WRFDA/var/test.
