CALWRF problem

[franklealt]

Dear all,
I have some questions about CALWRF installation:

1) I don’t have pgf90 compiler but gfortran in Ubuntu, does someone know how to change the makefile code proposed by Gil in a previous message in order that it works for gfortran?
2) CALWRF.zip comes with a .exe file, after typing “make” will this .exe file be changed?
3) Have you tried this CALWRFv1.4 with outputs from WRF v3.5? Does it work Ok with all types of netCDF files?

Thanks and best regards to all,

@franklealt:
1) waybov_wrf has already answered your first question: change FC and FFLAGS to FC = gfortran and FFLAGS = -fast -g -Mlfs. Broadly speaking a makefile is only an instruction file that says: "you should compile this and this, the libraries are in this and this path, and the compiler is this one", so basically you just need to change the values to fit your system (e.g.: the NETCDF variable indicates where the netcdf libraries are, you should adapt it so that it finds the correct path in the system you're compiling).
2) well, if I recall correctly yes: as soon as you recompile the program a new executable should be generated.
3) still haven't done that, sorry.

@waybov_wrf: what's your issue exactly? the .exe not being executable due to permission problems?

Hi guyes ,
i alredy solved my problem with CALWRF, and every thing is explained in my blog,
But currently I am facing one problem as recently announces new CALWRF_2.0.1 which can be install it on windows as well ,
it look easy to install but i have one problem here..
unable to give path in calwrf.inp file for hard drive ?
like my wrfout is in external hard drive (E:/element/vbm/wrf_run/vbm/22082013)
but I am confused how to give path I am getting error like unable to read netcdf file...
I dont know what to do ... m stuck here.. calwrf.inp is like below...
if any one have step wise installation plz give us information... that will save our time...
please give me suggestion of about this input file
======================================================================================
Create 3D.DAT file for WRF output
calwrf.lst ! Log file name
test5.m3d ! Output file name
-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1 ! Beg/End I/J/K ("-" for all)
2011081500 ! Start datetime (UTC yyyymmddhh, "-" for all)
2011090200 ! End datetime (UTC yyyymmddhh, "-" for all)
1 ! Number of WRF output files
E:\vbm\wrf_runs\vbm\wrfout_d01_2011-08-15_00:00:00! File name of wrf output (Loop over files)
======================================================================================
========================================================================================

well I see a discrepancy: in the text you say that the hard drive is E:/element/vbm, while in the .inp file this "element" folder disappears.

Also, but maybe it means nothing, I would add a space between the path name and the comment character "!".

opsss..
thks for your reply.. m going to run it again by changing .inp accordingly.. thks for remining "i" error.. it was silly mistake..

Hi SMinBright,

since more or less one year passed from your question, probably this answer isn't useful anymore, but anyway:

once you have compiled the calwrf.f source code file, you should end up with an executable (named calwrf). The .inp file is what this executable file will read to access the WRF netCDF files and transform them (you can set all the "options" in the .inp file).

Once you have the .inp file set, you just need to run the calwrf executable (in a bash terminal, cd to the directory of the executable and then simply write ./calwrf) and it should generate your output.

Cheers!

I am sorry to disturb you after 4 years,perhaps you will not find this.in fact I have difficulty in running CALWRF.I have a series of wrf-output files. One day has 2 files,but I would like to get calwrf's results of a MONTH's wrf-output files.
===========================================================================================
Create 3D.DAT file for WRF output
calwrf.lst !Log file name
calwrf.em.m3d !Output file name
-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1 !Beg/End I/J/K ("-" for all)
-1 !Start datetime ( UTC yyyymmddhh, "-" for all )
-1 !End datetime ( UTC yyyymmddhh, "-" for all )
3 !Number of WRF output files
./wrfout_d03_2015-10-27_00:00:00
./wrfout_d03_2015-10-27_12:00:00
./wrfout_d03_2015-10-28_00:00:00 !File name of wrf output (Loop over files)
===========================================================================================
AND the RUNNING process were like this
===========================================================================================
Control inp file:calwrf.inp
2D.DAT flag input not exist, set to one
Set 2D.DAT flag to 1: 1
Default 2D.DAT filename:calwrf.em.m2d

MAYBE you have experiences if you have seen this situation, CAN you give me some advices about it?
thank you very much !
