Use wrfhydro/wps outside the US #123

Closed JoaGru closed 4 years ago

JoaGru commented 4 years ago

Hi there

I have used the WPS container to create a geo_em.d01.nc file for a location in the US and it is working fine. I now would like to generate a geo_em.d01.nc file for a location in Europe. In the description though it is written: "Furthermore, the dataset provided with this container has been subset to the contiguous United States (CONUS). " Can anyone give me tips on how to proceed? Do I have to incoprpaorate the data from this website (https://www2.mmm.ucar.edu/wrf/users/download/get_sources_wps_geog.html) somehow?

Any help is much appreciated

Hi JoaGru, This container was created as you can see for CONUS subsetting and mainly for use in our hands-on training courses. Hence we do not provide subsetting worldwide at this time. Are you wanting to run WRF-Hydro? If so, for areas outside of CONUS, follow the workflow described in How To Build & Run WRF-Hydro V5.1.1 in Standalone Mode https://ral.ucar.edu/sites/default/files/public/projects/Technical%20Description%20%26amp%3B%20User%20Guides/howtobuildrunwrfhydrov511instandalonemode.pdf You will need to build and run WRF/WPS. You might be able to find another way to subset the data but we can not provide support for that at this time. Good luck. Best regards, Molly

Hi Molly Thank you for your help. I now mounted the static data from https://www2.mmm.ucar.edu/wrf/users/download/get_sources_wps_geog.html to the WPS training container. I then changed the geog_data_path in the namelist.wps file to where I copied my data:

geog_data_res = 'default', geog_data_path = '/home/docker/WRF_WPS/WPS_GEOG',

Additionally I had to change the GEOGRI.TBL:ARW.wrf_hydro_training file: under name=LANDUSE:

rel_path = default:modis_landuse_20class_30s_with_lakes/

Now it is working.

Best Regards, Joachim
