This repository hosts a Jupyter notebook based application of the Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF) on a Raspberry Pi (version 3 or higher).

pi-wrf's Issues

Cannot install

I have followed the instructions 1-3 according to the README. When I run command 3, this is the error I get.

Resolution

Hi

I think the default resolution for a model run is 30km? Is it possible to change this at all? I could see some reference to the resolution in the config files within the image, but was unsure if this could be modified at all...

Where are the images saved?

Running the latest version and love that my students could save the text/images from the run.

Planning on having them build a PI, and then run the model and share the output while studying from home.

I just can not figure out where the run information is being saved, so I can include instructions for copying and sharing the files.

Thanks.

Boundary Conditions

It seems the boundary conditions downloads are not working. The download messages are happening way too fast for any data downloads to be happening.

Viewing Output

Hello,

Quite new to all of this, so forgive me...

When I run this app and it generates images, is there a way to step through multiple days/hours of output? It seems I am only getting one image for temps, one image for precip, etc. And, I do not know what date/time it is valid for. Can a timestamp be added?

Thanks for any help!

Make time series plot

I have successfully installed Pi-WRF and I have it running on a RPi 4. Where can I obtain the .nc model output files for creating a time series plot?

exec format error

I am attempting to run this on a Mint Linux 19.1 virtual machine and when I run the command to start the docker image, I get the following error:

"standard_init_linux.go:211: exec user process caused "exec format error"

I'm not sure if this expected behavior since this is not a raspberry pi or not but wanted to bring this to the developers attention.

Display issues with multiple monitors

The app does not display properly when two or more monitors are involved. This is due to tkinter adding the resolution of both monitors and adjusting the app to display on the combined resolution. Need to define an active monitor and then set the resolution on a single monitor.

File System

Where are the files output to? I see them in the notebook but I'd like to access them outside of that environment, as well look at the raw files produced by WRF.

Also what code is it looking at? I tried to change the domain resolution in set_domain.py but it's still 30 km each time.

Double click on Map

Map zooms into single point when a user double clicks instead of click and drag.

Fatal Error Assistance

When trying to run pi-wrf, I get the following error:
FATAL CALLED FROM FILE: LINE: 70
program wrf: error opening wrfinput_d01 for reading ierr= -1021

Is there anything that can be done to mitigate this issue? I have attached a file with all of the readout. I appreciate your assistance.

Running on different architectures

Pi-WRF seems great for some simple presentations of NWP models, but I don't have a Raspberry Pi. So I am wondering, is it possible to run pi-wrf on some different machine than Raspberry Pi? For example, just a computer with Ubuntu?

I've read that there are some options for multiarch builds in Docker, but I'm not very familiar with Docker so I want to check first if there is an easier solution.

Downloading boundary conditions

I attempted to run pi-wrf without making any changes to notebook. I let it determine the date range by itself. It appeared to be working until it got to obtaining the boundary conditions. Below is what happened. What did I do wrong? I have tried setting the dates manually and the same thing happened. How is it supposed to download the boundary conditions?
