WRF-FLake
The Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model has been coupled with the Freshwater Lake (FLake) model. The offline methodology has been tested and used in [1]. The fully coupled WRF-Flake model has been used in [2] and [3].
The FLake routines can be automatically included in the WRF code by running an update script. The script and adapted Flake routines are available for WRF versions 3.4.1, 3.5, 3.6 and 3.6.1.
Download: [WRFFLakeV3.4.1, WRFFLakeV3.5, and WRFFLakeV3.6/3.6.1. ]
Lake depth data to be used with WPS, adapted from the Global Lake Database, are available here. Starting from version 3.6 these data have been included in the default WPS Geographical Input Data Downloads.
Please let me know when you download the codes (gula [ at ] ucla [ dot ] edu) and reference [1] and [2] if they are used in your study.
