The itag is read in by unipost and is generated automatically in the run_unipost script based on user-defined options in the user edit section. The itag contains the following 5 (7) lines for processing WRF (FV3) data:

  1. Path and name of the WRF (FV3 dyn*) output file to be post-processed.
  2. Format of the WRF (FV3) model output (netcdf or binarynemsiompiio).
  3. Format of the UPP output (GRIB1 or GRIB2).
  4. Forecast valid time (not model start time) in YYYY-MM-DD_HH:MM:SS format (i.e. the forecast time desired to be post-processed).
  5. Dynamic core used (NCAR or GFS).
  6. FV3 only: Path and name of the FV3 phy* output file to be post-processed.
  7. FV3 only: Name of the Grib2 control file (postxconfig-NT-GFS.txt)

Example for WRF-ARW:

/path/to/file/wrfout_d01_2010-06-10_00:00:00
netcdf
grib2
2010-06-10_00:00:00
NCAR

Example for FV3GFS
