<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Dear WRF users,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I recently received funding for a research
project that includes the use of WRF to simulate climate in the upper Missouri
River basin. I have a Sun Ultra (with dual co-processors), but I
understand that compiling WRF on a Sun with Solaris OS is challenging.
I may have the opportunity to purchase a second workstation for running
WRF. Any suggestions? This machine would be mostly to run WRF
to set up model runs and to become more familiar with the model. We
would not use it for extended runs. Would a Dell workstation with
Red Hat Linux work well? Thanks for any feedback from the WRF community.</font>
