WRF Pre-processing System Version 4.2
This release includes the following notable changes:
-
Improved support for the Linux/POWER9 platform
-
The addition of an optional IRRIGATION field in geogrid, used by the new WRF
option sf_surf_irr_scheme = 1, 2, and 3 -
An update of Vtable.RAP.hybrid.ncep to handle newer RAP and HRRR data and to
include microphysical (QNC) and aerosol (QNWFA, QNIFA) fields -
A correction to the LANDMASK calculation when using the 'modis_15s_lake' land
use dataset -
A modification to ungrib and g2print to permit negative starting latitudes for
datasets on a Gaussian grid -
A correction to calc_ecmwf_p to avoid the use of uninitialized data in
the computation of the GHT field when only a subset of EC levels is available
