Title

A Guide to Transform Software for Nonlinear Normal-mode Initialization of the NCAR Community Forecast Model

Abstract

This report represents the culmination of efforts by Ronald Errico and James Vickroy of the Large-Scale Dynamics Section of NCAR's Atmospheric Analysis and Prediction Division with the purpose to provide both NCAR and the university community with software for both initializing and examining atmospheric data. This software has been designed for use with both the NCAR Community Climate Model (CCM) and Community Forecast Model (CFM). It enlarges the range of studies that can be performed with those two models. It was designed especially for those investigators who want software computationally efficient, simple to use, and easy to modify.
