[Wrf-users] Minimal number of variables to run WRF (climate experiments)

[Jose Augusto Paixão Veiga]

Dear all,


someone could tell me please what is the minimal number of variables
necessary to make a run with WRF? I am asking this because I need to use
data from HadGEM-2-ES model to force WRF for a couple of  experiments for
present climate (1980-2000) and future climate (2080-2100, RCP8.5).


In a first look at Vtable.GFS (that I usually use for my runs) I saw the
data dependencies from Temperature (T), U, V, Relative Humidity (RH),
Height, T at 2 m, RH at 2 m, U at 2 m, V at 2 m, Surface Pressure,
Sea-Level-Pressure, Soil Moist for 4 layers, T bellow ground for 4 layers,
Ice flag, Land/Sea flag, Skin Temperature, terrain field, water equivalent
snow depth and physical snow depth.


However, for ESGF portal where I intend download data from HadGEM-2-ES
experiments the available variables, at 6/6h frequency, are just 6: T, U,
V, Sea-Level-Pressure, Specific Humidity and Surface Air Pressure, i. e.,
there are no variables of RH, T at 2m, U and V at 2 meters, T skin (or SST)
among others cited before. So, how can I run WRF?



I really appreciate if some one could help me with this doubt.
