EuroCC@Greece announces the 13th Course of HPC Training Series with the subject "The Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model on HPC", that will take place online on April 28th, 2025. 

Date: April 28th, 2025, at 09:45 EET  

Location: Online via Zoom

Presentation Languages: Greek

Audience: This course is designed for meteorologists, climate scientists, researchers, and engineers who need to run and optimize WRF models on High-Performance Computing (HPC) systems. It is also suitable for graduate students and professionals in atmospheric sciences, computational physics, and environmental modeling.

Course Description: This course provides an overview of the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model, focusing on its application and optimization on High-Performance Computing (HPC) systems. Participants will learn WRF model fundamentals, installation, configuration, execution, and performance tuning techniques specific to HPC environments.

Learning Objectives:

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Understand WRF model – Explain the fundamentals of Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model and its applications.

  • Set Up and Configure WRF – Install, configure, and run WRF model on HPC systems.

  • Optimize Performance – Apply parallel computing techniques to enhance WRF model efficiency on HPC.

  • Analyze Model Outputs – Interpret WRF simulations and validate results against observational data.

  • Troubleshoot and Debug – Identify and resolve common issues in WRF simulations on HPC platforms.

Prerequisites:

  • Basic Meteorology Knowledge – Understanding of atmospheric processes and weather forecasting concepts.

  • Linux Proficiency – Familiarity with command-line operations and shell scripting.

  • Programming Experience – Basic knowledge of Fortran and/or C++.

  • Numerical Modeling Basics – Understanding of numerical weather prediction principles.

  • HPC Familiarity – Experience with parallel computing, job scheduling, and running applications on HPC systems is beneficial but not required.
