This is the base repository for the CORDEX-CMIP6 coordinated WRF runs started in 2021.
It contains reference files (namelists, TBL, files, cookbooks, documentation, etc.) to create static fields and forcing data and to run WRF for the CORDEX-CMIP6 evaluation, historical, and projection runs according to the CORDEX-CMIP6 protocol.
The main branch should always contain the most recent community-agreed configuration.
Please, keep this repository free from large binary files. Just link them from a remote URL.
The WRF version agreed to be used for these simulations is V4.5.1. There are several bugs in NoahMP that were fixed in this version, but some remain, so it is recommended to use directly the version tagged v4.5.1.4 from the CORDEX WRF community fork:
git clone --recurse-submodules -b v4.5.1.4 https://github.com/CORDEX-WRF-community/WRF.gitThe configuration for the default EURO-CORDEX CMIP6 runs (WRF451Q) requires also:
| File | Description |
|---|---|
| namelist.input | WRF namelist file in this repository. |
| geo_em.d01.EUR-12-v4.1.nc | Static data on the EUR-12 rotated lon-lat grid. See static_data folder for details. |
Follow the checklist to setup your simulation.
This model configuration has been used to perform evaluation and scenario EURO-CORDEX simulations driven by different Global Climate Models. The processing of these driving sources is described in README-driving-sources.md.
