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 and the interpolation from staggered wind mesh. Supplied with VAPOR.

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?

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.
