This major release of the WRF Preprocessing System includes the following notable changes and fixes:
-
Add 2-d maps of urban parameters and anthropogenic heat to the GEOGRID.TBL.ARW file in support of the new SLUCM option in WRF (PR #244)
-
Updates of C code to conform with ISO C, preventing compilation errors (PR #245)
-
Change resolution of soilgrids fields in GEOGRID.TBL.ARW.noahmp from 'soilgrids' to 'default' so that no modification to the geog_data_res namelist variable is needed in order to process SOILCOMP, SOILCL1F, SOILCL2F, SOILCL3F, and SOILCL4F (PR #235)
-
Introduce a CMake build capability through new configure_new and compile_new scripts. Note that compiling the WPS with CMake requires that WRF was also built with CMake. (PR #230)
-
Add new configuration stanza for the Intel oneAPI compilers. Existing Intel stanzas have been renamed to "Intel Classic compilers" to differentiate them from the new oneAPI stanza. (PR #250)
-
Add GRIB2 table parameter codes for new ECMWF open data to Vtable.ECMWF (PR #222)
-
Update g2print to accommodate CMA GFS fields (PR #253)
-
Update the Vtable README as well as comments in some NCEP Vtables (PR #251)
