WRF-Hydro model code
Version 5.3.0 of the Community WRF-Hydro® source code is consistent with the NOAA National Water Model (NWM) v3.0 code in operations plus the following additions and fixes:
New features:
nexp
spatial parameterModel physics fixes/updates:
Updated coupling infrastructure:
Code-level updates that do not affect model physics:
debug
, install
, and test
Version 5.2.0 of the Community WRF-Hydro® source code is consistent with the NOAA National Water Model (NWM) v2.1 code in operations plus the following additions and fixes:
This is a pre-release of the WRF-Hydro® Modeling System version 5.2.0. This version corresponds to version 2.1 of the National Water Model. Once release assets are finalized (not included with this pre-release), a final release will be published with links to updated official documentation.
NOTE: This is a pre-release and not yet officially supported by the WRF-Hydro team. Please stand by for a final release soon!
Version 5.1.2 of the Community WRF-Hydro® modeling system is a bug-fix release that corrects several small but critical errors in version 5.1.1:
Water class value for output masking is now set to the appropriate water class code instead of being hard-coded to "16". (Addresses issue #455)
WRF-Hydro can now be linked to versions of netCDF newer than v4.6 without crashing. (Addresses issue #382)
Beyond these fixes, no additional answer-changing modifications are present, nor are different configuration or input forcing files required from version 5.1.1.
Version 5.1.1 of the Community WRF-Hydro® source code is consistent with the NOAA National Water Model (NWM) v2.0 code in operations plus the following additions and fixes:
ncap2 -O -s "rsurfexp=slope*0.0+5.0" soil_properties.nc soil_properties.nc
smc smcmax
check threshold was reduced from 10-6 to 10-5 due to some conflicts still triggering at the lower threshold. PR #111This is a beta release of WRF-Hydro v5.1.1 to support the upcoming training.
This minor release contains several user relevant bug fixes to WRF-Hydro detailed below.
This release only includes additional testing upgrades to v5.0. No changes have been made to the model code.
NOTE This release, and all previous releases on this branch, DO NOT pass perfect restarts for Gridded due to a number of issues with the lake code. Additionally, NWM channel-only is not functional for any releases on this branch
NOTE The domain was updated on 2018-09-18 to fix incorrect namelist settings for aggfactrt and dxrt related to issue #174
NOTE The domain was updated on 2018-10-18 to re-do spinup. There may have been issues with the original restarts in this domain, but not certain.
This release is a minor release that only includes updates to model testing modules. No changes have been made to the WRF-Hydro source code.
Due to the significant number of updates since the previous WRF-Hydro v3.0 release, users with existing domain and setup files will need to adapt some files to be read by the new code. The significant updates and delayed release are attributed to the merging of the WRF-Hydro community model code base with the National Water Model (NWM) code base to provide access to many of the features of the NWM. Details regarding WRF-Hydro changes can be found here.
Below are some high level highlights of major changes. More information can also be found in the WRF-Hydro documentation available here on our project website.
