WRF suite
The operational WRF suite has an operations graph of
run_wrf[-P1D] => start_cycle => softlink_run => get_gfs_data
get_gfs_data:finish => transfer_gfs_data => write_wps_namelist => run_ungrib
run_ungrib => run_metgrid => write_run_namelist => adjust_soil_levels => run_real
run_real => run_wrf => run_netcdf_convert => transfer_for_fvcom => archive_output => housekeeping
There is also a startup app softlink_commmon that , and a monthly task
The transfer_for_fvcom app triggers the FVCOM suite on completion
This is a clock trigger. It completes once the time is past a certain allowing the suite to start running at a particular time point.
This gets the model setup files from the general share directory (ROSEDATA) and softlinks them in to this cycles share directory (ROSEDATAC).
This first runs the rolling archive tidy up script (proc_gfs_file.sh). This script goest to the gfs data directory on the remote (as passed by the first argument) then deletes directories older than the number of days given by the second argument. It in the 'forecast' directory it soft links to the latest version of the forecast for each hour.
I've had a silent fail when the remote user didn't have the correct permissions to write in the forecast_data directory, this caused an error downstream in adjust_soil_levels but not at this point.
Updates a template of the namelist.wps file (in ./file) with the correct start and end dates, the interval, and the path to the opt_metgrid_tbl file then copies the namelist to the cycle share directory (ROSE_DATAC).
Runs the linkgrib.sh script (in ./file) passing the location of the GFS rolling archive. This creates a bunch of GRIBFILE.??? files. The wps namelist and Vtable are collected, a bunch of module loaded and ungrib.exe run. This
Once this is complete the FLX files are copied to the cycle share directory (ROSE_DATAC).
Does some sort of pre processing. Not quite sure what but ungrib, metgrid, and real are provided with WRF. Some more notes are here https://wiki.uio.no/mn/geo/geoit/index.php/Running_WRF
Updates a template of the namelist.input file (in ./file) with the correct start and end dates, and number of days to run.
This does some fiddling in the files to get the number of soil levels correct
Requires ncdump (on ceto load module netcdf, should probably include this in the app relies on it already being loaded at the moment).
This is also sometimes the first place that errors in gfs dates/run_ungrib/run_metgrid appear as it requires the met_d03* files which can fail to be created earlier but somehow don't throw errors.
More preprocessing
Runs WRF
Converts output files from netcdf3 to netcdf4
Creates the fvcom useable version of the output (using wrf_to_fvcom_ceto which needs to be in the global bin folder) and then puts them in a common directory to be available for when fvcom runs
Moves output from ceto to the sthenno directories
Removes the larger files from within the ~/cylc-run/wrf/share/cycle/[date] directories on ceto
