WRF-Fire merge testing
How to test
- Base all future testing on branch fuel-moisture-model-jm. When something is changed/fixed, need to retest.
- Record also unsuccessful tests, when fixed, replace by the final result and include link to the commit used
- All tests should be reproducible by checking out the commit noted, which should include all data for ideal runs
- For real runs, please link to the datasets to be reproducible
What needs to be tested
- Fuel moisture model off vs. WRF4 baseline, with and without fire, did we change anything?
- Fuel moisture model on, fire on, is it doing what it should?
- Serial and parallel execution with different numbers of CPUs, do the numbers change?
- WTF as specified in WRF testing requirements
- Ideal cases and maybe some real
Jan's test results
All kingspeak runs are in /uufs/chpc.utah.edu/common/home/u6015690/merge and run on node kingspeak11 (nodes can be different).

Angel's test results
All kingspeak runs are in /uufs/chpc.utah.edu/common/home/kochanski-group3/farguella and run on node kingspeak11 and kinspeak12. All the compilation are done using ifort serial (13), nesting 0.
Branch develop vs. added-fmc_g
The branch develop and branch added-fmc_g are in kingspeak in folders WRF-Fire-merge-develop and WRF-Fire-merge-added-fmc_g respectively. They are tested in order to see the first new functionalities of adding variable FMC_G in WRF4 baseline. Tests are from list in https://www.openwfm.org/index.php?title=Porting_WRF-SFIRE_fuel_moisture_model_to_WRF4#Testing_to_be_done.
fire_fmc_read not present in namelist.input
One can observe that both simple hill simulations are exactly the same running
diff WRF-Fire-merge-develop/test/em_fire/wrf.log WRF-Fire-merge-added-fmc_g/test/em_fire/hill_tests/original/wrf.log -I Timing
which returns
10c10 < alloc_space_field: domain 1 , 344571608 bytes allocated --- > alloc_space_field: domain 1 , 345388824 bytes allocated
Therefore, the only difference is in the allocation size as expected.
However, the new branch added-fmc_g is creating new variable FMC_G taken constant value of fuelmc_g from namelist.fire all over the domain. Changing value of fuelmc_g in namelist.fire changes the value of the new variable FMC_G.
fire_fmc_read present in namelist.input
Setting
fire_fmc_read=0
and poblating FMC_G variable in wrfinput_d01 using ncreplace in Matlab. The branch added-fmc_g uses the new FMC_G in the simulation from new wrfinputs. Tested using:
- Constant FMC_G field of 0.07: WRF-Fire-merge-added-fmc_g/test/em_fire/hill_tests/fmc_07.
- Constant FMC_G field of 0.08: WRF-Fire-merge-added-fmc_g/test/em_fire/hill_tests/fmc_08. Exactly the same results that branch develop which was taking the information from namelist.fire file.
- Random FMC_G field: WRF-Fire-merge-added-fmc_g/test/em_fire/hill_tests/fmc_rand. Gives the progression with random bumps as expected.
- Slope FMC_G field: RF-Fire-merge-added-fmc_g/test/em_fire/hill_tests/fmc_slope.
