Creating Vis5D Dataset with RIPVis5D is a powerful visualization software package developed at the University ofWisconsin, and is widely used by mesoscale modelers to perform interactive 3Dvisualization of model output. Although it does not have the flexibility of RIP forproducing a wide range of 2D plot types with extensive user control over plot details, its3D visualization capability and fast interactive response make it an attractive complementto RIP.A key difference between RIP and Vis5D is that RIP was originally developedspecifically for scientific diagnosis and operational display of mesoscale modelingsystem output. This has two important implications: (1) The RIP system can ingest modeloutput files, and (2) RIP can produce a wide array of diagnostic quantities that mesoscalemodelers want to see. Thus, it makes sense to make use of these qualities to have RIP actas a bridge between a mesoscale model and the Vis5D package. For this reason, a Vis5Dformatdata-generating capability was added to RIP. With this capability, you can create aVis5D data set from your model data set, including any diagnostic quantities that RIPcurrently calculates.The Vis5D mode in RIP is switched on by setting imakev5d=1 in the &userin namelist inthe UIF. All other variables in the &userin part of the namelist are ignored. No plots aregenerated in Vis5D mode. The desired diagnostic quantities are specified in the PST withonly a minimum of information necessary since no plots are produced. In most cases,only the feld keyword needs to be set, and vertical levels should be specified with levs (inkm) for the first field requested. The vertical coordinate will automatically be set to 'z', sothere is no need to set vcor=z. The levels specified with levs for the first requested fieldwill apply to all 3D fields requested, so the levs specification need not be repeated forevery field. You are free to choose whatever levels you wish, bearing in mind that thedata will be interpolated from the data set's vertical levels to the chosen height levels.For some fields, other keywords that affect the calculation of the field should be set (suchas strm, rfst, crag, crbg, shrd, grad, gdir, qgsm, smcp, and addf). Keywords that onlyaffect how and where the field is plotted can be omitted. Any of the diagnostic quantitieslisted in Appendix B in the full RIP User’s Guide can be added to the Vis5D data set,with the exception of the Sawyer-Eliassen diagnostics. Each desired diagnostic quantityshould be specified in its own FSG (i.e. only one feld= setting between each line ofrepeated equal signs). The only exception to this is if you are using the addf keyword. Inthat case, all of the plot specification lines (PSLs) corresponding to the fields being added(or subtracted) should be in one FSG.Once the user input file is set up, RIP is run as outlined in the Running RIP section. Sinceno plots are generated when RIP is run in Vis5D mode, no rip-execution-name.cgm file iscreated. However, a file is created with the name rip-execution-name.v5d. This file is theVis5D data set which can be used by the Vis5D program to interactively display yourmodel data set.<strong>WRF</strong>-NMM V3: User’s Guide 7-37
The map projection information will automatically be generated by RIP and be includedin the Vis5D data set. Therefore, you don't have to explicitly request feld=map in thePST. However, there are some complications with converting the map background, asspecified in RIP, to the map background parameters required by Vis5D. Currently, RIPcan only make the conversion for Lambert conformal maps, and even that conversiondoes not produce an exact duplication of the correct map background.Vis5D also has its own terrain data base for producing a colored terrain-relief mapbackground--you don't need to specifically request feld=ter to get this. However, if youwant to look at the actual model terrain as a contour or color-filled field, you should addfeld=ter to your PST.<strong>WRF</strong>-NMM V3: User’s Guide 7-38
