Numerical Weather Prediction and Air Quality Modeling
Odycloud NWP & AQM with added preprocessing apps and support
‘Odycloud Numerical Weather Prediction & Air Quality Modeling with added preprocessing apps and support’ provides a complete package to launch and manage WRF and CMAQ on instances and clusters. WRF is a mesoscopic model used by thousands of users worldwide, and able to generate forecasts for a wide range of atmospheric conditions and resolutions. These forecasts serve for operational functions and research purposes. CMAQ represents state-of-the-art air quality modeling able to forecast concentration of airborne pollutants such as ozone, particulate matters and others.
- Integration of MPI, netCDF, HDF5, and other tools ensuring optimal performance for tightly-coupled simulations and other parallel processing tasks
- Implementation of WRF v4.8 and WPS working seamlessly with an Ubuntu O/S and high-performance environmental apps
- Implementation of CMAQ v5.5 and scripts to run CMAQ in either instances or clusters
- Implementation of MCIP, BCON, and ICON to prepare the initial and boundary condition files needed by CMAQ
- App to download and/or modify meteorological and air quality data in order to generate the initial and boundary conditions
Steps to use the apps
- Select the image from your console
- Choose an arm-64 instance and launch it like any other Linux instance with a SG
- Connect to the instance using SSH via putty. MobaXterm or similar -> Log in using ‘ubuntu’ as the username
- Run the apps like in any other system (cloud or in-premises)
- Configure your credentials if files need to be transferred to buckets
- To use the added apps able to download meteorological and air quality data in an accelerated fashion, move to the /home/ubuntu/DATA and run the app by invoking download.exe.
The user guide provide more details on these steps and how to use the apps.
