Is there a guide on how to create runs for someone from a non weather modelling background?
In particular for the input files, 'namelist.input' seems like a list of parameters I could google for/tweak, but I'm not sure where I'd go about sourcing data for the initial/boundary condition files 'wrfinput_d01' and 'wrfbdy_d01.
- milancurcic 9y agoUnfortunately, at this early stage, Cloudrun still requires some level of WRF expertise, needed to create these input files. We are working on automating these steps so you don't have to, but it will take another 2 months or so. In the meantime, you can email us at help@cloudrun.co, let us know your region of interest and time window, and we will happily create the input files for you. We considered not launching the Beta before the input file creation was done, but we wanted to get feedback as early as possible. I really appreciate your interest and feedback! If by any chance you decide to go creating these files yourself, the process is tedious but well documented here: http://www2.mmm.ucar.edu/wrf/users/docs/user_guide_V3/users_guide_chap3.htm http://www2.mmm.ucar.edu/wrf/users/docs/user_guide_V3/users_... We do plan to start writing short tutorials on setting up simulations and geared toward non-experts.
