This command will create a directory called RIP.RIP Directory StructureUnder the main directory of RIP reside the following files and subdirectories::• CHANGES, a text file that logs changes to the RIP tar file.• Doc/, a directory that contains documentation of RIP, most notably the HTMLversion of the Users' Guide that you are now reading (ripug.htm).• Makefile, the top-level make file used to compile and link RIP.• README, a text file containing basic information on running RIP.• color.tbl, a file that contains a table defining the colors you want to haveavailable for RIP plots.• eta_micro_lookup.dat, a file that contains "look-up" table data for the Ferriermicrophysics scheme.• psadilookup.dat, a file that contains "look-up" table data for obtainingtemperature on a pseudoadiabat.• sample_infiles/, a directory that contains sample user input files for RIP andrelated programs. These files include bwave.in, grav2d_x.in, hill2d.in, qss.in,rip_sample.in, ripdp_wrfarw_sample.in, ripdp_wrfnmm_sample.in, sqx.in, sqy.in,tabdiag_sample.in, and tserstn.dat.• src/, a directory that contains all of the source code files for RIP, RIPDP, andseveral other utility programs. Most of these are Fortran 77 source code files withextension .f. In addition, there are:o a few .h and .c files, which are C source code files.o comconst, commptf, comvctran, and CMASSI.comm, which are includefiles that contain common blocks that are used in several routines in RIP.o pointers, an include file that contains pointer declarations used in some ofthe routines in RIP.o Makefile, a secondary make file used to compile and link RIP.• stationlist, a file containing observing station location information.Installing the RIP CodeRIP uses a build mechanism similar to that used by the WRF model. First issue theconfigure command, followed by the compile command../configureChoose one of the configure options listed. Check the configure.rip file created and editfor compile options/paths, if necessary../compile >& compile_rip.log &WRF-NMM V3: User’s Guide 7-23
