The fire code in WRF-Fire, called SFIRE (for Spread FIRE model), can be used independently without WRF for testing. To make comparison easier, it can run from the same inputs as WRF-Fire.
Step by step instructions
- Install and build WRF-Fire, leave the NETCDF environment variable as set for building WRF-Fire
- cd wrf-fire/standalone
- Find a suitable make.inc.* file and soft-link it to make.inc, for example ln -s make.inc.gfortran make.inc
- Type make to create fire.exe
- Change to one of the test directories, for example cd ../WRFV3/test/em_fire/hill
- Run ./ideal.exe to create the file wrfinput_d01
- Run ./fire.exe
Works with
- REDIRECT Template:WRF-Fire-branch Jul 31 2010
- tested with gfortran 4.4 (gcc44 on Centos 5.5) and 4.3 (on OS X, from MacPorts), but will not compile under gfortran 4.1.2 (which is the default compiler distributed with RHEL5 and Centos 5.5) because of its lack of support of the Fortran 2003 standard
- PGI Fortran 10.5 and hopefully later
