Quick start

WRFotron uses pre-built executables on ARC4 from CEMAC. Everything required is loaded in config.bash, including Python, NCO, NCL, WPS, WRFMeteo, WRFChem, preprocessors, and ncview.

1. Log into ARC4 and clone the WRFotron repo:

git clone git@github.com:wrfchem-leeds/WRFotron.git

2. Load the availability of CEMAC modules:

. /nobackup/cemac/cemac.sh

3. Run WRFotron:

. master.bash 2016 10 12 00 24 06
