NU-WRF Version 9 patch 3  (v9p3-wrf391-lis72) ("Charney") was released on 23 May 2019.

WHAT CHANGED:

  • Includes WRF-NoahMP.3.6 coupling as well as some testcases.
  •  Includes new physics parameterizations
    • NTU (National Taiwan University) microphysics
      • A multi-moment four-ice (pristine ice, aggregate, graupel, and hail) bulk microphysical scheme
    • WRF NSSL electrification scheme
      • This scheme requires environment variable WRF_ELEC=1. This can be set in the build configuration files.
    • Includes testcases for the above.
  •  DOE CRM
    • utilizes WRF as a CRM/LES using doubly periodic lateral boundaries
  • Upgraded Intel compiler version to 18.x, consistent with LISF.
  •  Updated build system.
