Hi 

I am fairly new to HWRF and i would like to try and run HWRF.on my system

I could only find Hurricane IRMA in https://dtcenter.org/community-code/hurricane-wrf-hwrf/datasets#data-4 
I would like to try with other datasets(Hurricane Matthew etc) 

Can you please point me to where i can get datasets for other Hurricanes.

Here are the lists of other data sources:

Thanks,

Same here, learning slowly.

For historical storms, I mainly get data from RDA: https://rda.ucar.edu/datasets . You will need to apply for access. It's pretty fast, within a day or two you shall receive the approval email. You could search for "GFS" data. I found d084.1 very similar to the gfs data in the HWRF package for Irma. Some other sets might be useful: ds084.3, ds084.4, ds337.0, ds735.0

Another website is  https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/weather-climate-models/global-forecast .

I plan to start from these two, gradually search and learn these datasets.
