WRF-GC | A two-way coupled meteo/chem model

This repository (wrf-gc) holds the chem directory for the WRF-GC model, which contains all the custom code necessary to run WRF-GC under a WRF installation and a built-in version of GEOS-Chem (currently 12.8.2 official version)

This version of WRF-GC is version: 2.0-release (2021/02/23)

Primary Components for Coupling

One-way coupled version, two-way coupled version

• WRF-to-Chemistry Abstraction Layer (Codename "Pumpkin") - wrf-gchp-pumpkin Project
• WRF-Grid-Independent-GEOS-Chem ("GIGC") Chemistry Driver - chemics_init & chem_driver

Support Components

The below support components are based off GEOS-Chem High Performance ("GCHP") technology.

• GEOS-Chem Column Code - GIGC_Chunk_Mod, based off GCHP's original column code
• GEOS-Chem Stateful Variables Container - GC_Stateful_Mod, redesigned to support multiple domains within the same CPU in GEOS-Chem
