Additionally, the WRF support group has managed the <a href="mailto:wrf-users@ucar.edu" class="">wrf-users@ucar.edu</a> subscription system. Towards the goal of a more unified and community-oriented means of supporting not only the WRF modeling system (including the WPS and WRFDA), but also the MPAS-Atmosphere model, we will no longer approve posts to <a href="mailto:wrf-users@ucar.edu" class="">wrf-users@ucar.edu</a> after Friday August 10, and will cease to answer emails to <a href="mailto:wrfhelp@ucar.edu" class="">wrfhelp@ucar.edu</a> at the beginning of September. Official support will now be provided through a public web forum.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The new WRF support forum is accessible at <a href="http://forum.mmm.ucar.edu/phpBB3/" class="">http://forum.mmm.ucar.edu/phpBB3/</a>. We welcome participation from the entire WRF community, and we would like to emphasize that members of the WRF support group will be active participants on the forum.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">No account is needed to browse the forum, but in order to post a new topic or a reply, it will be necessary to create an account - which should only take a minute, and involves simply choosing a username and password.
