If you are looking for the first UFS application release (the Medium-Range Weather Application 1.0) you are in the right place! See the All Releases page for release notes and known bugs.
This repository contains the model code and external links needed to build the UFS Medium-Range Weather Application, which focuses on atmospheric behavior out to about two weeks. This application includes a user-friendly workflow, with pre-processing (preparation of inputs), a forecast model, and post-processing. The forecast model used in this application is the UFS Weather Model: https://github.com/ufs-community/ufs-weather-model/wiki
This wiki includes a Getting Started section that leads you through a quick example. It also includes a Graduate Student Test based on that example. The Graduate Student Test is a way for students, postdocs and others to provide feedback on the usability of the code by running through a series of experiments and then filling out a questionnaire about the experience.
The UFS Medium-Range Weather Application Users Guide has more comprehensive information than this wiki, including links to scientific descriptions of the code and more thorough technical instructions.
You may want to look at different versions of the Users Guide depending on what you are trying to do:
| Version | Description |
|---|---|
| Tag ufs-v1.0.0 | Documentation for the most recent release and the version currently used in the Getting Started section and Graduate Student Test. |
| Latest | Documentation for the head of the development. This may have gaps and errors. |
You can also get expert help through a community forum.
Users who only need to check out the latest code or certain tags can clone the repository without having a GitHub account:
% git clone https://github.com/ufs-community/ufs-mrweather-app
% cd ufs-mrweather-app
% git checkout develop (or tags)
% ./manage_externals/checkout_externals
