UPP V9.0.0

This release is a standalone version of UPP that is identical to that which is used in the UFS Short Range Weather (SRW) Application and is created for community use and distribution.

Release Notes

  • Use of CMake for building
  • Build dependency on the official NCEPLIBS package
  • Supported models/cores: FV3GFS (netcdf and nemsio formats) and FV3LAM (netcdf format)
  • Updated to CRTM v2.3.0
  • CRTM coefficient fix files are now packaged separate from the code base. Can be downloaded from this Release page.
  • No support for WRF applications
  • No support for Grib1 output format

Known Issues

When using the community run script, scripts/run_upp, forecast hours 8 and 9 are not output correctly because of an issue with the formatting for the variable fhr due to Bash shell standards. Users can applying the following fix to the run_upp script.

Modify lines 276 and 277 to read:

fhr=`printf "%02i" ${fhr#0}`
fhour=`printf "%03i" ${fhr##0}`

User Support

Support for the UPP is provided to the community by the Developmental Testbed Center.

Quick Build Instructions

1. Must build NCEPLIBS prior to installing UPP
The external NCEP libraries https://github.com/NOAA-EMC/NCEPLIBS-external
The NCEP libraries https://github.com/NOAA-EMC/NCEPLIBS

2. Obtain the UPP code
Download from this release page -or-
git clone -b upp_v9.0.0 --recurse-submodules https://github.com/NOAA-EMC/EMC_post

3. Build the code

cd EMC_post
mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=.. -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=${INSTALL_PREFIX}
make install

where INSTALL_PREFIX is the path to the location of your pre-installed NCEP libraries.

A successful build will create an executable called ncep_post in the EMC_post/bin/ directory.

4. Obtain and unpack CRTM fix coefficient files

cd ../EMC_post
mkdir crtm && cd crtm
wget https://github.com/NOAA-EMC/EMC_post/releases/download/upp_v9.0.0/fix.tar.gz
tar -xzf fix.tar.gz
