WRF version: 3.2

Right now, tests of the ENKF are carried out in two machines: tacc ranger (PGI compiler) and wjet (Intel compiler)

Current control variables of regional ENKF : nvar =1 : U nvar =2 : V nvar =3 : potential temperature nvar =4 : surface pressure nvar =5 : water vapor specific humidity

GSI updated variables:

MU, T, QVAPOR, U, V, SEAICE, SST

If (cloud_analysis) QCLOUD, QRAIN, QSNOW, QICE, QGRAUP

In the furture, more variables like W and cloud/hydrometeor fields will be added to both GSI and ENKF system

Current modification in ENKF params.f90 ! ndim = nlevs*nvars

ndim = nlevs*(nvars-1) + 1 ! for the regional model

gridinfo.f90 Add new subroutine: getgridinfo_reg --- calculate the pressure at each sigma level and the virture temperature.

gridio.f90 Add new subroutine: readgriddata_reg (read in regional guess fields of ‘C’ grid), writegriddata_reg (output in ‘A ‘ grid)

statevec.f90 read_ensemble: Call readgriddata call readgriddata_reg

‘anal’ array rearrangement;

write_ensemble:

Call writegriddata call writegriddata_reg

enkf_main.f90 Call getgridinfo call getgridinfo_reg

Subroutine getgridinfo_reg Add pressure calculation at each model level: pt_ll=0.01*ptopq_integral=1.0do k = 1, nlevsindeltasigma=eta1(k)-eta1(k+1)q_integral(:) = q_integral(:)+deltasigma*qg(:,k,1)Enddopsfc_this_dry=0.01*psfc psfc(:)=(psfc_this_dry(:)-pt_ll)*q_integral(:)+pt_lldo k = 1, nlevsinpsig(:,k)=eta1(k)*(psfc(:)-pt_ll) + pt_llpslg(:,k)=aeta1(k)*(psfc(:)-pt_ll)+pt_llenddopslg = pslg*100.0

Height of each control variable:do nvar=1,nvarsif ( nvar .eq. 4 ) then nn = nn + 1 logp(:,nn) = log(pressimn(:,1)) logsigma(:,nn) = -log(pressimn(:,1)/spressmn(:))else do k=1,nlevs nn = nn + 1. logp(:,nn) = log(presslmn(:,k)) logsigma(:,nn) = -log(presslmn(:,k)/spressmn(:)) end doendif end do

Subroutine readgriddata_regCalculated the virtural temperature from the potential temperature: q(:,k) = qg(:,k,1)/(1.+qg(:,k,1)) ! Q = water vapor specific humidity ! q_bk = water vapor mixing ratio rd_over_cp=287.04/1004.67

! calculated the temperature from the potention temperature ! get the virtural temperature

do k = 1, nlevsin temp(:,k) = tempg(:,k)*(pslg(:,k)/1000)**rd_over_cp *(1+0.61*q(:,k)) enddo

• Read in the wrfinput files and ENKF analysis fields

• Transfer the U, V from the ENKF analyzed grid to C grid

• Update the U, V, T, Mu, Qvapor in the wrfinput

2. Test in the wjet machine reads in the conventional diagnose files properly, but there is still something wrong in the tacc ranger computer.
