Description of netCDF from WRF, HYCOM and WW3

   WRF
     ->The files are separated by folders in year(2017), month(07_julio) and we have them in 2 domains 
       for file(wrfout_d01_2017-07_17.nc,wrfout_d02_2017-07_17.nc ) 

      ->Domains 1 coordinates: time(121),latitude(208),longitude(325),depth(49),u_latitud(208),
        u_longitude(326),u_depth(50),v_latitud(209),v_longitude(225)
      
      ->Domains 2 coordinates: time(121),latitude(159),longitude(279),depth(49),u_latitud(159),
        u_longitude(280),u_depth(50),v_latitud(160),v_longitude(279)  
     
     HYCOM
     ->The files are separated by folders in 20170522 (year(2017)+month(05)+day(22)) and 
        we have them in 2 folders 2d and 3z
      
      ->2d coordinates: time(1), latitude(385), longitude(541)
      
      ->3z coordinates: time(1), latitude(385), longitude(541),depth(30)
      
     
    WW3 
     ->The files are separated by folders in year(2017), month(07_julio) , we have them in 3 domains 
       (golfo de mexico(gom), atlantico() y pacifico()) and by domain you have a file of 24 hours you 
       have 5 days
     
      ->gom coordinates: time(24), latitude(93), longitude(73)  
     
      ->wo coordinates: time(24), latitude(), longitude()
     
      ->pom coordinates: time(24), latitude(), longitude()

Run model WRF

./Run_WRF_to_OWGIS (file compile in bash)

-> file WRF_for_OWGIS_LOCAL.ncl (script pricipal)

-> file configuration.txt (script configuration requires to read file README(Variables that require others))
 
  ->files the procedures

Run model hycom

./Run_HYCOM_to_OWGIS (file compile in bash)

-> file HYCOM_for_OWGIS_LOCAL.ncl (script pricipal)

 -> file configuration.txt (script configuration requires to read file README(Variables that require others))
 
    ->files the procedures

It will be done a version in ncl for the variables:

Air temperature at 2 mts (T2)

Precipitation (PREC2)

Wind at multiple levels

Relative humidity

Sensible heat flux

Latent heat flux

Shortwave radiation

Longwave radiation

Total radiation

Boundary layer height

Cloud coverage

Evaporation
