Running WRF-Fire with real data is a process very similar to running WRF with real data for weather simulations. The WRF users page has many documents and tutorials outlining this process. The purpose of this page is to provide a tutorial for using real data with WRF-Fire starting from scratch. We begin with a quick outline of the steps involved including links to the output of each step. The user can use these linked files to start from any step or to verify their own results. Due to platform and compiler differences your output might differ slightly from those provided.

Outline

  1. Obtain WRF-Fire source code.
  2. Compile target em_real.
  3. Compile WPS.
  4. Configure your domain in namelist.wps

The domain parameters are set in the geogrid section of namelist.wps.
