WBPlot ====== There are two programs here to plot a WRF variable from a binary file. 1) bplot -- Plots a single variable. 2) dplot -- Plots the difference between a variable in two files. To compile and use the programs you will need to have Plplot installed on your system. If it is not, you can obtain it from http://plplot.sourceforge.net/ You WILL have to edit the Makefile, specifically the definition of PKG_CONFIG_PATH based upon the installation location of PLplot. Bplot ----- This will plot a single variable, it will produce a surface plot, so you will need to choose a slice if you are wanting to plot a 3D variable. It is controlled by a namelist, for example: The 2D variable LU_INDEX. &plot filename = 'wrfinput_d01', var = 'LU_INDEX', dims = 215, 431, / The 3D variable T, plotting the slice with k = 19 &plot filename = 'wrfinput_d01', var = 'T', dims = 215, 431, 42, k = 19, / Dplot ----- This will plot the difference between a variable in two WRF files. The namelist is as follows: &plot file_1 = 'wrfghost_d02_old', file_2 = 'wrfghost_d02_new', var = 'T', dims = 215, 431, 42, k = 42 / This example will plot the difference between the 42nd level of the 3D variable T.
