File parm/hwrf_basic.conf

This is the first configuration file read in during the pre_master job when creating the initial configuration. It sets directory paths to which the later conf files refer. Any variables set in later conf files will override variables set here.

This default file is used by NCEP EMC for retrospective runs. It assumes another file has set the CDSCRUB, CDSAVE, syndat and CDNOSCRUB variables in the [dir] section. This allows the system to be easily picked up and moved to another cluster. See File parm/system.conf.jet and File parm/system.conf.zeus for examples.

This is one of the core configuration files, read in by all HWRF configurations. This file sets options in the following sections:
