Visualization and postprocessing of the WRF and ERA5 data

Plot the WRF and ERA5 data, in the same simple way as you run the WRF model!

PostWRF is a bunch of interactive tools, written in NCL and Bash scripts, to visualize and post-process the WRF model outputs (as well as ERA5 and RTTOV data, to some extent).

PostWRF is useful for both the expert and less-experienced users. Students can plot the WRF and ERA5 outputs whithout struggling with coding and syntax errors. Expert users can also carry out common postprocessing tasks in a simple and straightforward way.

Main capabilities:

  • WRF Data extraction
  • WRF horizontal contour plot
  • WRF cross-section plot
  • WRF statistical diagrams
  • RTTOV input (from WRF) and output data generation
  • WRF data conversion to Geotiff
  • WRF Skew-T and windrose diagrams
  • ERA5 horizontal contour plot
  • ERA5 data extraction

Installation:

Install NCL on a Linux machine (e.g. Fedora): bash sudo dnf install ncl That's it! Enough for most of the PostWRF's capabilities!

Run PostWRF:

  1. git clone git@github.com:anikfal/PostWRF.git
  2. cd PostWRF
  3. chmod +x postwrf.sh modules/*.sh modules_era/*.sh
  4. Copy or link your WRF or ERA5 files in the PostWRF directory
  5. ./postwrf.sh
  6. Follow the instructions and give relevant information to visualize/postprocess your data
