The SKRIPS is under continous development. The current stable version is v2.0
The older versions are available here: older versions
To insall and run the code, please refer to code documentation.
To build the WRF model or the coupled model, please refer to other documentation.
This is the repository for the Scripps-KAUST Regional Integrated Prediction System (SKRIPS). It is a regional coupled atmosphere-ocean model that includes the following components:
- Atmosphere Solver: WRF (version 4.1.3)
- Ocean Solver: MITgcm (version c67m)
- Wave Solver: WaveWatch III (version 6.07.1)
- Driver (coupler): ESMF (version 8.0.0)
The instructions on installing each component are detailed in the code documentation. There are several tutorial cases for testing the coupled model.
Users can also extend this solver using some pre-requisite knowledge of the underlying method and programming techniques.
In this repository, we have:
- coupler/ - all coupler source code and examples
- esmf_test_application/ - ESMF test cases
- installOption_OTH/ - scripts to install other code
- installOption_WRF/ - scripts to install WRF
- installOption_WW3/ - scripts to install WW3
- license_statements/ - license statements of the model components
- README.md - readme file
