Hi Brian, Have you tried using GEMPAK as an interim format? I've had good results using the venerable wrf2gem postprocessor that Steve Decker developed several years ago. The netcdf-java library handles the GEMPAK to NetCDF conversion fine and I have a couple bundles that display fields from our regional runs. I believe that if you build NCEP's WRF post processor and choose GEMPAK output, that will work too. --Kevin _____________________________________________ Kevin Tyle, Systems Administrator Dept. of Atmospheric & Environmental Sciences University at Albany Earth Science 235, 1400 Washington Avenue Albany, NY 12222 Email: ktyle@xxxxxxxxxx Phone: 518-442-4578 _____________________________________________ ________________________________________ From: idvusers-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <idvusers-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> on behalf of Brian Mapes <bmapes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, March 5, 2015 6:04 PM To: idvusers Subject: [idvusers] making WRF output CF compliant Does anyone have some one-line templates for converting wrf output to IDV-friendly netCDF files? Preferably with a set of basic weather variables but not a zillion internal model fields. Such an old question, so much on the Web, yet every solution seems to require a bunch of time and effort. This looked promising http://foehn.colorado.edu/wrfout_to_cf But for me it creates the inscrutable errors below and no results. No idea what to do next, no hours and hours available to study it. Anyone have a workable solution? Thanks for any tips!
