Tip 3 - Canned Case-study Jan 2000 -- how to download the needed data to run at UBC
Created Feb 2013 by Jesse Mason, for ATSC 507 NWP course at UBC.
== DRAFT ==
The unix commands we use are:
- cd = change directory
- wget = download into the current directory from a web page
- tar = unpack compressed files
- ls = list the contents of a directory
Check your unix/linux manual for details.
On your local computer, open your terminal program and
ssh into your account at Westgrid, and login using your password (see Tip 1).
[... ~]$ cd ~/WRF/WPS
[... WPS]$ wget http://www.mmm.ucar.edu/wrf/src/wps_files/geog_v3.4.tar.gz {takes about 15 minutes}
[... WPS]$ tar -xvzf geog_v3.4.tar.gz {takes about 15 minutes}
[... WPS]$ cd ~/WRF
[... WRF]$ mkdir metdata
[... WRF]$ cd ~/metdata
[... metdata]$ wget http://www.mmm.ucar.edu/wrf/TUTORIAL_DATA/JAN00_AWIP.tar.gz
[... metdata]$ tar -xvzf JAN00_AWIP.tar.gz
Next, follow the online tutorial at http://www.mmm.ucar.edu/wrf/OnLineTutorial/CASES/JAN00/geogrid.htm
- In step 2 of that tutorial where it wants you to edit the geog_data_path, your WPS_GEOG data location will be:
/home/{your user name here}/WRF/WPS/geog
- skip step 4 in that online tutorial
Next, follow the online tutorial at http://www.mmm.ucar.edu/wrf/OnLineTutorial/CASES/JAN00/index.html
but skipping any steps that we already have done.
