WPS<br />

Since the ungrib program may produce a significant volume of output, it is recommended<br />

that ungrib output be redirected to a file, as in the command above. If ungrib.exe runs<br />

successfully, the message<br />

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br />

! Successful completion of ungrib. !<br />

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br />

will be written to the end of the ungrib.output file, and the intermediate files should<br />

appear in the current working directory. The intermediate files written by ungrib will<br />

have names of the form FILE:YYYY-MM-DD_HH (unless, of course, the prefix variable<br />

was set to a prefix other than 'FILE').<br />

Step 3: Horizontally interpolating meteorological data with metgrid<br />

In the final step of running the WPS, meteorological data extracted by ungrib are<br />

horizontally interpolated to the simulation grids defined by geogrid. In order to run<br />

metgrid, the namelist.wps file must be edited. In particular, the “share” and “metgrid”<br />

namelist records are of relevance to the metgrid program. Examples of these records are<br />

shown below.<br />
