[Wrf-users] About the new users' guide Chap6

[WRF Help]

Hello All,

     Sorry for this confusion!

     Even though we have some practical difficulties to 
invest more resources in the community support, we are 
doing our best to improve our support at all time.

     The ew users' guide chapter 6 is written for the July 
tutorial and the coming minor release 3.0.1, which will be 
released in the beginning of August. Basically, from 
WRF-Var side, the codes of V3.0.1 don't have too much 
changes, just a few bug fix. The main changes is on the 
compilation mechanism. From Version 3.0, Var codes were 
merged with WRF codes and Var codes have to use the same 
compilation system with WRF, so Var codes do need times to 
spin up with the WRF compilation system.

     Anyway, our goal is to provide a robust and 
easy-to-use Var system to community users.


Thanks

Hello everybody,

Having a look at this:

http://www.mmm.ucar.edu/wrf/users/docs/user_guide_V3/users_guide_chap6.htm#Download

you may realise how the workflow of the WRF-Var module has 
changed and
also its method of installation due to this older 
reference:

http://www.mmm.ucar.edu/wrf/users/docs/user_guide_V3/Attic/users_guide_chap6.htm

Does anybody have an idea of what is happening? I know 
that WRF-Var is
being continuosly improved since it doesn't support 
nesting yet but, Is it
to appear a new version soon? Could someone explain me 
which type of
module is "OBSGRID" that seems to alter the traditional 
flow chart of WRF?

I'm developing an automated forecasting system based on 
WRF and the last
milestone is the WRF-VAR and the introduction of real 
observations to the
model. I urgently need to be informed of any change in 
WRF-Var in order to
make a decision about continuing with the old flow of 
WRF-Var or just wait
for a new version.

I'll wait for your answers.
Thanks in advance.
