The coupled WRF-TEB (Meyer et al., 2020a) couples the single layer Town Energy Balance (TEB; Masson, 2000) software (Meyer et al., 2020b) to the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF; Skamarock et al., 2019) software with CMake support (Riechert & Meyer, 2021).
WRF-TEB is built with WRF-CMake and TEB. Software releases are available from the WRF-TEB release page. For standard installation on Linux use:
cd wrf-teb
mkdir build && cd build
cmake -GNinja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
-DMODE=dmpar \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=install ..
# https://ninja-build.org/
ninja install # -j <nproc>Notes: the TEB software version is defined using the GIT_TAG variable in external/teb/CMakeLists.txt. To specify the location to TEB use the TEB_DIR flag (e.g. -DTEB_DIR=path/to/teb/dir). For a list of required software dependencies see doc/cmake/INSTALL.md#install-dependencies. For advanced build and install information see doc/cmake/INSTALL.md#build-and-install-wrf-cmake.
Standard WRF documentation applies. To run a case using WRF-TEB, enable TEB from the namelist.input with sf_urban_physics = 4 and rename URBPARM_TEB.TBL to URBPARM.TBL. Make sure to change options and parameter values to match those for case study. See the namelist option page in TEB for more information.
