A multidisciplinary approach for weather & climate

A Python tool to transform WRF NetCDF files to CF conventions... and more.

WRF NetCDF Extract & Join (wrfncxnj) is a tool written in python that allows the user to generate CF compliant NetCDF files from the files generated by the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. The tool is intended to be used from the command line or a Shell script, and offers many options as flags:

• Extract variables and join them across several files
• Split the files by variable or vertical level (in the atmosphere or the soil)
• Select the levels to save and filter dates
• Compute derived variables
• Store the output in NetCDF4 compressed format

WRF NetCDF Extract & Join has been developed by the Santander Meteorology Group at the University of Cantabria, and is released under GNU license.
