IMPORTANT: Users will need to download and install a new wrf_update.pl routine prior updating the WRF EMS. The new wrf_updat.pl script fixes a few bugs encountered since the initial release and will allow for the installation of the correct binary data set (x32, x64, PIII, AMD Athlon) on your system. Please follow the installation instructions provided below .

 

Step 1. Download the new wrf_update.pl

Step 2. % cp wrf_update.pl.UPDATE $WRF_STRC/wrf_update.pl

Step 3. % cd $WRF_STRC

Step 4. % dos2unix wrf_update.pl (to clean up and control characters)

Step 5. % chmod +x wrf_update.pl

 

Step 6. Make sure $WRF{ENV} near the top of the wrf_update.pl file is set to
the top of your WRF EMS:

$ENV{WRF} = "/usr1/wrf";  #  <-- Change if necessary

Step 7. Next edit the /usr1/wrf/data/conf/config/wrf_update/wrf_update.conf
file and change

  UPDATEDIR = /wrf/updates

to

  UPDATEDIR = /wrf/ems_updates

which is the new location for updates on the SOO/STRC ftp server.
