WRFNL

NOTE: The WRFNL package is obsolete and has been replaced by WRFPLUS as of WRFDA Version 3.3; it should only be used with WRFDA Version 3.2.1 and older.

The WRFNL (WRF non-linear) model is a special version of WRF which includes some extra I/O in history files and parallel controls specified for the parallel MPMD (Multiple Program Multiple Data) mechanism. WRFNL includes all the capabilities of WRF.

The WRFNL is tailored for use with WRFDA 4D-Var only, and is not recommended for use as a forecast model.
