MPAS post-processing #52
|
I am looking for help with MPAS output visualization. Have used WRF (and MM5 before that) and use GrADS to visualize. Does anyone know who handles the MPAS output post processing that leads to the images on this webpage (https://rapidrefresh.noaa.gov/hrrr/MPAS/)? Ideally, I would love to be able to convert MPAS output into the same format as WRF output, but the only code I have been able to find so far won't run on my small 4-core machine. Thanks! |

@DrCMet yes, since MPAS produces output on an unstructured grid, we need to run an additional post-processing step to put the output onto a regular grid (and basically imitate WRF output). The code is referred to as MPASSIT, developed by Larissa Reames (formerly at NSSL). You can find the MPASSIT code here: https://github.com/ahijevyc/MPASSIT Once we have run MPASSIT, we can run the Unified Post Processor (UPP) to generate GRIB2 output. But maybe you won't need that final step if you can directly work with wrfout files. |
