File parm/hwrf.conf

This is a UNIX conf file that contains all information relating to the HWRF configuration. UNIX conf is used because of how easy it is to parse (even GrADS can do it). The syntax: 

 [section]
 var = value

For generation of namelists for WRF, WPS and other Fortran programs, we use this syntax: 

[section]
namelist.nlvar = value

to set the value of namelist &namelist's nlvar variable. Also, the special variable "namelist" lists additional conf sections to recurse into to get more namelist variables after the current conf section is parsed. Any variable will only be set once: the first time it is seen.

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

Section [hwrf_da_ens]

Section [merge]

Configure the merge job.

Section [namelist_outer]

Extra per-domain WRF namelist settings for all nests.

This section sets the namelist for the intermediate and innermost domains. It only needs to set values that differ from the MOAD. The innermost domains can override these values in namelist_inner. See the WRF documentation for details.

Section [hycombools]

This section contains YES/NO variables and values which will be set as environment variables in the shell programs.

The hycombools section is filled with ENV_VAR=value entries. Each ENV_VAR will be set to the boolean version of the value. Values are converted to Python booleans and then to the strings YES or NO. All environment variables must be valid shell and Python variable names.

Options in this section:

[hycombools] RUN_OCEAN
