WRF_TOOLS

To creating WRF namelist in the Object-Oriented manner. Need to be updated but still usefull at this moment. Testing with the Buildbot now.

Usage Example:

The file example.py is a very simple example for you

• What to write to activate the modulde
• How to set the physics
• Example for large ensemble simulation

Initialing

import WRF_NAMELIST_CREATOR as WNC NCC = WNC.namelist_creater("namelist.input", STR_DIR='./TEST_GROUND/') NLC = WNC.namelist_checker()

Specific the time

NCC.read_user_specific(ARR_run_time_in=[0,0,0,12,0,0], ARR_start_time_in=[2015, 8, 21, 0,0,0], ARR_end_time_in=[2015, 8, 21, 12, 0, 0])

Changing the namelist input (e.g. microphysics)

NCC.DIC_physics_common_para["mp_physics"]["VALUE"] = 6

Making the namelist

NCC.create_a_namelist()

Advance Example:

change the namelist's format to fit your need:

to change the default values:

NCC.DIC_user["starting_time_step"]["VALUE"] = [24, 12, 6]

to change the format to generate the different namelist:

NCC.DIC_time_control_common_para["bdy_inname"]["VALUE"] = "ecmwf" ... and then your input for wrfbdy will become: ecmwf_d<domain>

NCC.DIC_time_control_common_para["bdy_inname"]["STR_FMT"] = "\'{0:s}{1:s}_d<domain>_<date>\',"

... and then your input for wrfbdy will include the "date"

Additional Setup

NCC.IF_ensemble_run to activate the ensemble simulation namelist for ESIAS-met, which an ensemble version of WRF by Rheinisches Institut für Umweltforschung an der Universität zu Köln and IEK-8 Forschungszentrum Juelich. This option will be only useful when using this version of WRF. Also this is a good example to setup additional namelist for specific version fo WRF.

Future plans:

• Adding the support for yaml files
• unit-testing
