Main content

The WRF/Noah LSM Coupled system consists of a large number of comprehensive terristrial data sets, their processing onto WRF grid through WRF/SI and Real routines, and the Unified Noah LSM as part of WRF physics package.

The following documents explain how to set up the WRF/SI/Real to acquire all surface, vegetation, soil data necessary to run the WRF/Noah coupled system. These information are probably most useful for users who want to modify these routines to ingest new land data and to modify the default WRF/Noah LSM configurations.
