We can use cdo to create a NetCDF file with only the data […]

Get GFS data for WRF
A great place to get the GFS initial and boundary data which we need to run a WRF forecast is here: https://rda.ucar.edu/datasets/ds084.1/. The NCAR Research Data Archive has 0.25 degree GFS forecast data archived since January 2015. The first step is to register, so that you can access the archive: https://rda.ucar.edu/login/register/ Once you have registered, […]
