These are container images for the Weather and Research Forecasting
model. The wrf-wps container contains the WRF and WPS programs, while the
wrf-chem container containst the WRF-Chem program, and the
wrf-4dvar container contains the WRF-4DVAR programs. They are
designed for use with Common Workflow Language (CWL) tool
descriptors and workflows.
- Docker (version 18.09 or later)
Tool descriptors are available in the Atmospheric Tool Library.
Currently only tool descriptors for WRF and WPS are available. Tool descriptors for WRF-4DVAR are not yet available.
Workflows using these tools are available on WorkflowHub in the Air Quality Prediction group.
Executables are placed within the /usr/local/bin directory. WRF and WPS run directories
are provided within the container at /WRF-run/ and /WPS-run/.
Executables are placed within the /usr/local/bin directory.
Images are available on the GitHub Container Repository:
- wrf-wps provides the main WRF and WPS applications
- wrf-chem provides the WRF-Chem application
- wrf-4dvar provides the WRFPLUS and WRF-4DVar extensions
WRF was developed at the National Centre for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and released under an open-source license.
The docker build scripts have been developed by the Research IT department at the University of Manchester.
