1. Building
1) General description
WRF-Hydro is a coupling architecture designed to simplify the coupling of terrestrial
hydrological models with the WRF model. The WRF-Hydro system is compiled as an independent
library to link with the WRF model and called by the WRF model as a function. The calling
of WRF-Hydro within the WRF model is controlled by a macro definition that is specified
as an environment setting during the compiling process. When WRF-Hydro is not activated
within the environment setting before the WRF configuration process, the entire system
defaults to the standard WRF model. To compile WRF-Hydro system, user only needs to set
environment variable ("setenv WRF_HYDRO 1"), and then follow the standard WRF model
configure and compiling process.
2) Environment settings
The following environment variables need to be set before configuring and compiling the WRF-HYDRO model:
setenv WRF_HYDRO 1
"1" is to activate WRF-Hydro. "0" or no definition will default to the WRF model only.
setenv HYDRO_D 1
A "1" for HYDRO_D results in WRF-Hydro producing some run-time diagnostic information.
When HYDRO_D is set to "0 "or not defined, the diagnostic information will not be produced
during run-time.
You can explicitly set the "NETCDF_INC" and "NETCDF_LIB" environment variables or just set "NETCDF".
If you only set "NETCDF" environment variable, the default NETCDF_INC and NETCDF_LIB inside WRF-Hydro
will be "$NETCDF/include" and "NETCDF/lib".
setenv NETCDF_INC "$path/netcdf/include"
setenv NETCDF_LIB "$path/netcdf/lib"
"NETCDF_INC" and "NETCDF_LIB" are defined for the WRF-Hydro only and can be different from those
set for the WRF model. WRF-Hydro has two netcdf libraries for Fortran and C respectively:
libnetcdff and ibnetcdf. If the user's netcdf library combined them together (only has one),
the user will need to manually change this part in order to successfully compile WRF-Hydro.
See the section below on porting about how to change this.
3) Configuring and compiling
On the following platforms, the configuring and compiling commands are the same as WRF model
after the user has set up the above four environment variables. The default supported platform
is Linux with the PGI (Portland Group) compiler. The compiler options IBM AIX with xlf fortran,
Linux with GFORTRAN and Intel are not fully tested yet and may not readily work. As stated above,
the WRF-Hydro system is called as a function inside the WRF model and thus only one executable
is created when WRF-Hydro is compiled with WRF. If user compiles the system successfully,
only a single "wrf.exe" file will be created.
2. Running
The fully coupled WRF/WRF-Hydro system has the same running or execution command as that of WRF.
Generally the same parameters and initial files are used as when normally running WRF. However,
WRF-Hydro has an additional namelist called "hydro.namelist" as well as some additional parameter
files (.TBL files) that are located under the "hydro/Run" directory. Users need to copy those
files to the directory where the "wrf.exe" is going to be executed.
For a WRF-Hydro cold start run (i.e. not from a restart file), the user needs to provide three
additional files that are specified in the "hydro.namelist": "GEO_STATIC_FLNM", "GEO_FINEGRID_FLNM"
and, depending on whether or not the baseflow-bucket model is activated, "gwbasmskfil".
For running WRF-Hydro from restart file, the user needs to uncomment RESTART_FILE from
"hydro.namelist" by removing "!" and provide the exact name for the existing restart file
to be used. Running from a restart condition is common when the land surface has been
`spun-up' by running WRF-Hydro in an offline or `uncoupled' capacity.
3. Porting
The WRF-Hydro does not presently support OPENMP. The default support platform is Linux
with the PGI compiler, IBM AIX with the xlf fortran compiler, and Linux with the GFORTRAN
(sequential) compiler. However, WRF-Hydro is fairly easy to port to other systems.
The basic steps to do so are as follows:
1) Edit "hydro/configure", and add "exit(0);" to the second line so that "configure" will not be executed.
2) Edit "hydro/macros" to set desired compiling options.
3) Under hydro/CPL/WRF_cpl directory:
"make -f Makefile.cpl clean"
"make -f Makefile.cpl "
If there is no error, then user can compile the fully coupled WRF and WRF-Hydro model on the new platform.
