WRF & NCL
The Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF) is a high-resolution numerical model for weather prediction and atmospheric research. Developed by NCAR and NOAA, it allows for detailed analysis of regional weather with customizable physical modules. Key features include high-resolution forecasting, parallel processing capabilities, and open-source accessibility, making it versatile for applications in weather forecasting, climate studies, and environmental modeling.
1. What is WRF ?
NCL (NCAR Command Language) is a programming language developed for the visualization and analysis of weather and climate data. It supports various data formats (such as NetCDF, GRIB, HDF) and is specialized in visualizing and analyzing atmospheric and climate data. NCL offers powerful visualization capabilities for generating high-quality graphs and maps, along with analytical tools for statistics, data filtering, and interpolation. Its functionality is now also being supplemented by Python libraries like PyNGL and PyNIO.
