VAPOR conversion tools
WRF to VAPOR
The wrfvdfcreate/wrf2vdf convert wrfout files to .vdf format. These are executables not scripts, and controlled by command-line arguments. The conversion should involve computing node height from the geopotential to node vertical cartesian coordinates (variable ELEVATION) and the interpolation from staggered wind mesh. Supplied with VAPOR.
Documentation:
Examples:
NetCDF to VAPOR
ncdf2vdf is a more general utility.
- Is it possible to convert and use data at different resolutions (fire mesh, atmospheric mesh?
- What about staggering of the wind mesh?
- And conversion of geopotential to node height?
Documentation:
Examples:
- conversion of EULAG output (page 11)
NetCDF manipulation utilities
We could use a command line tool to subset wrfout files to leave only variables of interest. There are several packages of utilities that can be used to build a script to do this. However many areout of date.
