+# WRF
+
+[The Weather Research & Forecasting Model](https://www.mmm.ucar.edu/models/wrf) (WRF) is a numerical weather prediction system designed for both atmospheric research and weather forecasting.
+
+It is used for CPU-only simulation on [Eiger][ref-cluster-eiger], for which this guide applies.
+
+## Using Spack
+
+Spack provides the [wrf](https://packages.spack.io/package.html?name=wrf) package, which we can install using the [uenv-spack][ref-building-uenv-spack] tool.
+
+First create a working directory where you will install the software.
+Here, we create it in your project's [Store][ref-storage-store] path, where the package can be accessed by all users in your project.
+```bash
+mkdir $STORE/wrf
+cd $STORE/wrf
+```
+
+Then follow the steps in the [uenv-spack][ref-building-uenv-spack] guide to install `uenv-spack`
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/eth-cscs/uenv-spack.git
+(cd uenv-spack && ./bootstrap)
+```
+
+!!! warning
+ Run the step of downloading and running the bootstrap script for `uenv-spack` _before_ starting a uenv.
+
+The [`prgenv-gnu`][ref-uenv-prgenv-gnu] uenv is suitable for building WRF.
+```
+uenv start prgenv-gnu/24.11:v2 --view=spack
+```
+In this example we use the latest version of `prgenv-gnu` on Eiger at the time of writing -- check the `prgenv-gnu` [guide][ref-uenv-prgenv-gnu] for the latest version.
+
+```bash
+# build the latest version provided by the version of Spack used by prgenv-gnu
+$ uenv-spack/uenv-spack $PWD/build --uarch=zen2 --specs=wrf
+
+# build a specific version
+$ uenv-spack/uenv-spack $PWD/build --uarch=zen2 --specs=wrf@4.5.2
+
+# build a specific version with WRF-Chem enabled
+$ uenv-spack/uenv-spack $PWD/build --uarch=zen2 --specs=wrf@4.5.2 +chem
+```
+
+!!! note
+ See the wrf Spack [package documentation](https://packages.spack.io/package.html?name=wrf) for information about options that can be enabled or disabled.
+
+Finally, it is time to build the software:
+
+```
+cd build
+./build
+```
+
+This will take 30-60 minutes, while Spack builds some dependencies then WRF.
+
+### Using the Spack installation
+
+The installation creates a module file in the `wrf/build` path, that you created.
+Assuming you have installed it in the `$STORE` path for your project, add the following to the top of your sbatch script:
+
+```bash
+#SBATCH --uenv=prgenv-gnu/24.11:v2
+
+module use $STORE/wrf/build/modules
+module load wrf
+```
+
+!!! example "Modules installed by Spack"
+ Spack creates a module for every installed package:
+ ```console
+ $ module use $STORE/wrf/build/modules
+ $ module avail

+
+## CRYOWRF
+
+[CRYOWRF](https://gitlabext.wsl.ch/atmospheric-models/CRYOWRF) is a coupled atmosphere-snow cover model with WRF acting as the atmospheric core and SNOWPACK acting as snow cover model.
+
+Building CRYOWRF is a three step process:
+
+1. install the dependencies like [`parallel-netcdf`](https://packages.spack.io/package.html?name=parallel-netcdf)
+1. build the SNOWPACK extension
+1. Build the bundled WRF
+
+!!! note
+ This workflow was developed in July 2025 using the most recent commit `8f83858f` of [CRYOWRF](https://gitlabext.wsl.ch/atmospheric-models/CRYOWRF) (committed in August 2023).
+
+ It isn't very easy to install, and we have tried to streamline the process as much as possible, so take your time and follow the instructions closely.
+
+!!! warning "Eiger only"
+ This guide is for building on [Eiger][ref-cluster-eiger], which is an x86-based system.
+
+ Building on the Grace-Hopper clusters like [Daint][ref-cluster-daint] is
+
+We use [`prgenv-gnu/24.11:v2`][ref-uenv-prgenv-gnu] [uenv][ref-uenv].
+
+### Step 1: install required packages
+
+??? example "Full script"
+ Here is the full script for the steps described in this step.
+
+ ```bash
+ # the root directory under which all dependencies and WRF/CRYOWRF will be installed
+ export WRFROOT=$STORE/wrf
+ # the directory where we will install the dependencies of WRF/CRYOWRF/WPS
+ export WRFDEPS=$WRFROOT/dependencies
+
+ # assume that we are crating WRFROOT for the first time
+ mkdir $WRFROOT
+
+ # download and install uenv-spack
+ git clone https://github.com/eth-cscs/uenv-spack.git $WRFROOT/uenv-spack
+ (cd $WRFROOT/uenv-spack && ./bootstrap)
+
+ # start the uenv with the spack view enabled
+ # warning: bootstrap the uenv-spack tool _before_ starting the uenv
+ uenv start prgenv-gnu/24.11:v2 --view=spack
+
+ # configure the environment and build it
+ $WRFROOT/uenv-spack/uenv-spack $WRFDEPS --uarch=zen2 --specs='parallel-netcdf,jasper~shared,libpng,zlib-ng'
+ cd $WRFDEPS
+ ./build
+
+ # finish the session
+ exit
+ ```
+
+The first step is to create an empty directory where everything will be installed.
+Here, we create it in your project's [Store][ref-storage-store] path, where the package can be accessed by all users in your project.
+```bash
+# the root directory under which all dependencies and WRF/CRYOWRF will be installed
+export WRFROOT=$STORE/wrf
+# the directory where we will install the dependencies of WRF/CRYOWRF/WPS
+export WRFDEPS=$WRFROOT/dependencies
+# assume that we are crating WRFROOT for the first time
+mkdir $WRFROOT
+
+cd $WRFROOT
+```
+
+The following dependencies that are not provided by `prgenv-gnu` are required:
+
+* `parallel-netcdf`: used by WRF.
+* `jasper~shared`: used by WPS (`~shared` will build static libraries, required by WPS).
+* `zlib-ng` and `libpng`: used by WPS.
+
+Then follow the steps in the [uenv-spack][ref-building-uenv-spack] guide to install `uenv-spack`, which will be used to install the dependencies
+
+```bash
+# download and install uenv-spack
+git clone https://github.com/eth-cscs/uenv-spack.git $WRFROOT/uenv-spack
+(cd $WRFROOT/uenv-spack && ./bootstrap)
+```
+
+!!! warning
+ Run the step of downloading and running the bootstrap script for `uenv-spack` _before_ starting a uenv.
+
+Now we configure and build the environment, note that the final "build" phase will take a around 5-10 minutes.
+
+```bash
+# start the uenv with the spack view enabled
+uenv start prgenv-gnu/24.11:v2 --view=spack
+
+$WRFROOT/uenv-spack/uenv-spack $WRFDEPS --uarch=zen2 --specs='parallel-netcdf,jasper~shared,libpng,zlib-ng'
+cd $WRFDEPS
+./build
+```
+
+Now the dependencies are installed, finish the uenv spack session:
+
+```bash
+exit
+```
+
+!!! note
+ This step is performed once, and will install the software in `$WRFDEPS`, where they can be used to build and run WRF.
+
+### Step 2: build SNOWPACK
+
+??? example "Full script"
+ Here is the full script, that is described in detail in this step.
+
+ ```bash
+ uenv start --view-default prgenv-gnu/24.11:v2
+
+ # set the paths to match those used in Step 1
+ export WRFROOT=$STORE/wrf
+ export WRFDEPS=$WRFROOT/dependencies
+
+ git clone https://gitlabext.wsl.ch/atmospheric-models/CRYOWRF.git $WRFROOT/CRYOWRF
+ cd $WRFROOT/CRYOWRF
+
+ export NETCDF=/user-environment/env/default
+ export HDF5=/user-environment/env/default
+ export PNETCDF=$WRFDEPS/view
+
+ export WRF_EM_CORE=1
+ export WRF_NMM_CORE=0
+ export WRF_DA_CORE=0
+
+ export WRF_CHEM=0
+ export WRF_KPP=0
+
+ export NETCDF4=1
+ export WRFIO_NCD_LARGE_FILE_SUPPORT=1
+ export WRFIO_NCD_NO_LARGE_FILE_SUPPORT=0
+
+ export CC=mpicc
+ export FC=mpifort
+ export CXX=mpic++
+
+ ./clean.sh
+ ./compiler_snow_libs.sh
+
+ # finish the session
+ exit
+ ```
+
+Use the `default` view of `prgenv-gnu` to build SNOWPACK, WRF and WPS:
+
+```
+# set the paths to match those used in Step 1
+export WRFROOT=$STORE/wrf
+export WRFDEPS=$WRFROOT/dependencies
+
+uenv start prgenv-gnu/24.11:v2 --view=default
+```
+
+!!! note
+ You don't need to load any modules: the `default` view will add everything to your environment.
+
+First download the CRYOWRF software:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://gitlabext.wsl.ch/atmospheric-models/CRYOWRF.git $WRFROOT/CRYOWRF
+cd $WRFROOT/CRYOWRF
+```
+
+Set the following environment variables:
+
+```bash
+export NETCDF=/user-environment/env/default
+export HDF5=/user-environment/env/default
+export PNETCDF=$WRFDEPS/view
+
+export WRF_EM_CORE=1
+export WRF_NMM_CORE=0
+export WRF_DA_CORE=0
+
+export WRF_CHEM=0
+export WRF_KPP=0
+
+export NETCDF4=1
+export WRFIO_NCD_LARGE_FILE_SUPPORT=1
+export WRFIO_NCD_NO_LARGE_FILE_SUPPORT=0
+
+export CC=mpicc
+export FC=mpifort
+export CXX=mpic++
+```
+
+Then compile SNOWPACK:
+
+```
+./clean.sh
+./compiler_snow_libs.sh
+```
+
+
+### Step 3: build WRF
+
+??? example "Full script"
+ Here is the full script, that is described in detail in this step.
+
+ ```bash
+ uenv start --view-default prgenv-gnu/24.11:v2
+
+ # set the paths to match those used in Step 1
+ export WRFROOT=$STORE/wrf
+ export WRFDEPS=$WRFROOT/dependencies
+
+ # required for the CRYOWRF build to find SNOWPACK built in step 1
+ export SNOWLIBS=$WRFROOT/CRYOWRF/snpack_for_wrf
+
+ # set variables used by the WRF build tool
+ export NETCDF=/user-environment/env/default
+ export HDF5=/user-environment/env/default
+ export PNETCDF=$WRFDEPS/view
+
+ export WRF_EM_CORE=1
+ export WRF_NMM_CORE=0
+ export WRF_DA_CORE=0
+
+ export WRF_CHEM=0
+ export WRF_KPP=0
+
+ export NETCDF4=1
+ export WRFIO_NCD_LARGE_FILE_SUPPORT=1
+ export WRFIO_NCD_NO_LARGE_FILE_SUPPORT=0
+
+ export CC=mpicc
+ export FC=mpifort
+ export CXX=mpic++
+
+ git clone https://gitlabext.wsl.ch/atmospheric-models/CRYOWRF.git $WRFROOT/CRYOWRF
+ cd $WRFROOT/CRYOWRF/WRF
+
+ ./clean -a
+ # [choose option 34][nesting: choose option 1] when prompted by configure
+ ./configure
+
+ # edit configure.wrf
+ vim configure.wrf
+ # SFC = gfortran
+ # SCC = gcc
+ # CCOMP = gcc
+ # DM_FC = mpif90
+ # DM_CC = mpicc
+ # FC = mpif90
+ # FCBASEOPTS = $(FCBASEOPTS_NO_G) $(FCDEBUG) -fallow-argument-mismatch -fallow-invalid-boz -g
+ # NETCDFPATH = /user-environment/env/default
+
+ sed -i 's|hdf5hl|hdf5_hl|g' configure.wrf
+ ./compile em_real -j 64 &> log_compile
+ ```
+
+The CRYOWRF repository includes a copy of WRF v4.2.1, that has been modified to integrate the SNOWPACK extension build in the previous step.
+
+```bash
+export SNOWLIBS=$WRFROOT/CRYOWRF/snpack_for_wrf
+cd $WRFROOT/CRYOWRF/WRF
+./clean -a
+# [choose option 34][nesting: choose option 1] when prompted by configure
+./configure
+```
+
+!!! info "Set `SNOWLIBS`"
+ The `SNOWLIBS` environment variable needs to be set so that WRF can find the extension we compiled earlier.
+
+Open the configure.wrf file that was generated by calling `./configure`, and update the following lines:
+
+```bash
+SFC = gfortran
+SCC = gcc
+CCOMP = gcc
+DM_FC = mpif90
+DM_CC = mpicc
+FC = mpif90
+FCBASEOPTS = $(FCBASEOPTS_NO_G) $(FCDEBUG) -fallow-argument-mismatch -fallow-invalid-boz -g
+NETCDFPATH = /user-environment/env/default
+```
+
+And apply the following "patch":
+```bash
+sed -i 's|hdf5hl|hdf5_hl|g' configure.wrf
+```
+
+Now compile WRF, which will take a while:
+
+```
+./compile em_real -j 64 &> log_compile
+```
+
+The compilation output is captured in `log_compile`.
+On success, the log should have the message `Executables successfully built`:
+
+```console
+$ tail -n14 log_compile

+
+ ./compile &> log_compile
+ ```
+
+Using the same environment as above
+
+```bash
+export WRFDEPS=$WRFROOT/dependencies
+
+export NETCDF=/user-environment/env/default
+export HDF5=/user-environment/env/default
+export PNETCDF=$WRFDEPS/view

+export JASPERINC=$WRFDEPS/view/include
+
+cd $WRFROOT/CRYOWRF/WPS-4.2
+./configure # choose option 1
+```
+
+Update `configure.wps` as follows:
+```
+SFC = gfortran
+SCC = gcc
+DM_FC = mpif90
+DM_CC = mpicc
+FC = gfortran
+CC = gcc
+LD = $(FC)
+FFLAGS = -ffree-form -O -fconvert=big-endian -frecord-marker=4 -fallow-argument-mismatch -fallow-invalid-boz
+F77FLAGS = -ffixed-form -O -fconvert=big-endian -frecord-marker=4 -fallow-argument-mismatch -fallow-invalid-boz
+```
+
+Note the arguments `-fallow-argument-mismatch -fallow-invalid-boz` added to `FFLAGS` and `F77FLAGS`.
+
+Then compile:
+```
+./compile &> log_compile
+```
