Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model is a well-known atmospheric modeling system developed by NCAR. It is suitable for both meteorological research and operational weather prediction.

Info

Two complete examples are available at /project/common/WRF/. To run it within a directory, use

  • cp /project/common/WRF/Example1/* . (WRF) or

  • cp /project/common/WRF/Example2/* .

and
  • (WRF-Chem)

then follow the instructions inside the README file. (The Data directory is not needed.)

2. Job submission script

Below is an example of a WRF submission script (submitWRF.sh). It can be created using vi submitWRF.sh.

Code Block
languagebash
#!/bin/bash
#SBATCH -p compute             # Partition
#SBATCH -N 1                   # Number of nodes
#SBATCH --ntasks-per-node=32   # Number of MPI processes per node
#SBATCH --cpus-per-task=4      # Number of OpenMP threads per MPI process
#SBATCH -t 5-00:00:00          # Job runtime limit
#SBATCH -J WRF                 # Job name
#SBATCH -A ltxxxxxx            # Account *** {USER EDIT} ***

Info
  • Additional information regarding ThaiSC support commands for WPS (link_wps, unlink_wps) and WRF (link_emreal, unlink_emreal) can be found by using link_xxx --help, link_xxx --description or man link_xxx, after loading the modules.

  • You could run those WRF/WPS executables (.exe) separately by commenting unrelated lines out, using #, and adjusting your resource requests (#SBATCH) appropriately.

Some physics/dynamics options (and WRF-Chem) DO NOT support hybrid (DM+SM) run. If it is stuck at the beginning. try the following:

  1. Use #SBATCH --cpus-per-task=1 and export OMP_NUM_THREADS=1,

  2. Increase the total number of tasks, for example, #SBATCH --ntasks-per-node=128

  3. Specify the number of tasks for each executable explicitly; for instance, use
    srun -n16 ./real.exe
    srun -n128 -c1 ./wrf.exe or just srun ./wrf.exe
