WRFpy

• Provides a simple user-editable JSON configuration file
• Integrates with the Cylc workflow engine to access distributed computing and storage resources as well as monitoring
• Supports data assimilation through WRFDA and postprocessing through NCEP Unified Post Processing System (UPP)

WRFpy is a python application that provides an easy way to set up, run, and monitor (long) Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) simulations. It provides a simple user-editable JSON configuration file and integrates with Cylc to access distributed computing and storage resources as well as monitoring. Optionally, WRFpy allows for data assimilation using WRF data assimilation system (WRFDA) and postprocessing of wrfinput files using the NCEP Unified Post Processing System (UPP).
