Welcome to the UFS Medium-Range Weather Application wiki!

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.

Documentation and User Support

The UFS Medium-Range Weather Application User's Guide has more comprehensive information than this wiki, including links to scientific descriptions of the code and more thorough technical instructions.

The latest draft is here:
https://ufs-mrweather-app.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

You can also get expert help through a community forum.
