. Variables included in WRF NetCDF datasets are shown as a list in the View tab. The time slider at the end of the list of variables provide a fast way to slice through different time stamps. For variables that include vertical levels, the Vertical Level
dropdown menu will become selectable.
Integration with wrf-python
We currently provide the following additional features using wrf-python:
- Vertical Interpolation of Variables
- Generation of Derived Variables
Vertical Interpolation of Variables
Currently we offer integration with the vertical interpolation functions provided by wrf-python. Vertical interpolation options can be selected by selecting the variable name and enabling the Interpolate Vertical Level
check-box.
Generation of Derived Variables
The following variables are derived using wrf-python:
Variable Name | Description |
---|---|
AVO | Absolute Vorticity |
DBZ | Radar Reflectivity |
ETH | Equivalent Potential Temperature |
GEOPT | Geopotential for Mass Grid |
HELICITY | Storm Relative Helicity |
MDBZ | Maximum Radar Reflectivity |
Omega | |
PVO | Potential Vorticity |
PW | Precipitable Water |
RH | Relative Humidity |
RH2 | Relative Humidity at 2 m |
SLP | Sea Level Pressure |
TC | Temperature |
TD | Dew Point Temperature |
TD2 | Dew Point Temperature at 2 m |
TH | Potential Temperature |
TH2 | Potential Temperature at 2 m |
TK | Temperature |
TV | Virtual Temperature |
TWB | Wet Bulb Temperature |
UA | U-component of Wind on Mass Points |
VA | V-component of Wind on Mass Points |
WA | W-component of Wind on Mass Points |
Z | Model Hight |
