Building and Running TDAAPS Models: WRF Postdictions

Poppeliers, Christian P.; Aur, Katherine A.; Wheeler, Lauren B.; Poppeliers, Christian P.; Preston, Leiph A.

This document serves to guide a researcher through the process of running the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model and incorporating observations into coarse resolution reanalysis products to model atmospheric conditions at high (50 m) resolution. This documentation is specific to WRF and the WRF Preprocessing System (WPS) version 3.8.1 and the Objective Analysis (OBSGRID) code released on April 8, 2016. Output from WRF serves as an input into the Time-Domain Atmospheric Acoustic Propagation Suite (TDAAPS) which performs staggered-grid finite difference modeling of the acoustic velocity pressure system to produce Green's functions through these atmospheric models.
