Welcome to WRF-Fire Wiki Page!¶
Introduction to WRF-Fire¶
How to Use this Wiki and Where to Begin?¶
This Wiki aims to tutor WRF-Fire using a variety of examples with incrementally increasing level of complexity, ranging from basic uncoupled models to nested coupled models in the LES mode. In addition, tutorials are provided on Compiling WRF-Fire for Mac, Compiling WRF-Fire for Linux, Running WRF-Fire, Key WRF-Fire and WRF commands, and Visualization tools.
If you have preliminary experience with WRF and/or WRF-Fire, start with the examples along with the commands tutorials to learn WRF-Fire. You can also review the visualization tutorials, which include Python codes developed exclusively for visualizing WRF-Fire outputs.
If you are a new user to WRF world, we suggest to pursue the following steps to get acquainted with WRF-Fire.
Step 1: Run WRF-Fire for idealized cases.
Step 2: Compile ne of the test cases, namely “hill_simple” and “two_fires”, distributed with WRF-Fire.
Step 3: Visualize the outputs of test cases using Ncview.
Step 4: After getting acquainted with WRF-Fire, follow the examples and commands tutorials to learn how to create different WRF-Fire models. You can also follow visualization tutorials for more visualization tools and options.
Enjoy learning WRF-Fire!
