hi all,<br>
<br>
this note is for users of wrf-chem and dart.<br>
<br>
arthur has done a lot of new work on the branch,<br>
and we've tagged a new version: wrf-chem.r13172<br>
<br>
<div>In this release, we have:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Revised the MOPITT and IASI CO retrieval profile forward
operator to reduce the number of rejected observations near
the surface;</li>
<li>Incorporated a vertical localization scheme for Compact
Phase Space Retrievals (CPSRs);</li>
<li>Incorporated the ability to assimilate certain trace gas
observations as the logarithm of the concentration/mixing
ratio;</li>
<li>Revised the build process so it conforms with the DART
standard and is easier to build the WRF-Chem/DART support
utilities;</li>
<li>Made the test case input and output data available through
Globus; and</li>
<li>Included an WRF-Chem/DART README file that provides some
limited documentation on building and running WRF-Chem/DART.</li>
</ul>
<div>NOTE: WRF-Chem/DART is still a snapshot of Arthur's
working/development files so <br>
there are files that are built and not used, as well as options
that are under development. <br>
As such it is a good ideas to discuss your plans for using
WRF-Chem/DART <br>
with Arthur (<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:mizzi@ucar.edu">mizzi@ucar.edu</a>).<br>
<br>
feel free to contact Arthur or the development team
(<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:dart@ucar.edu">dart@ucar.edu</a>)<br>
for questions.<br>
<br>
thanks,<br>
