This release includes the following notable changes:

  • The default namelist.wps file has been updated to a newer case, matching
    the new default namelist.input file in WRF.

  • The GEOGRID.TBL.ARW files contain 20 new fields used by the new gwd_opt=3
    option in WRF.

  • The GEOGRID.TBL.ARW.noahmp file includes fields for the new dynamic irrigation
    scheme in Noah-MP.

  • A configure option, --nowrf, has been added to allow for configuration of
    the WPS without reference to a compiled WRF model; this is useful, e.g., if
    only the ungrib component of the WPS is needed.

  • The ungrib program has been updated to handle a missing value added to NCEP
    GEFS land surface fields starting in September 2020.

  • The ungrib program now handles data from before the year 1000.

  • The plotfmt.ncl script now supports datasets on a Lambert conformal conic
    projection.
