We introduce the principles of NWP (Numerical Weather Prediction) systems such as WRF and show how WRF can be run at home to produce some nice images and charts.

Most people would say that NWP systems are large and complicated, and can only be run on supercomputers. We show that this is not the whole story, and that it is possible to run your own weather prediction model.
If you would like to follow along:
- please pull the docker images tcriess/wrf and tcriess/wrfpp
- check out the repository https://git.hacknology.de/tecer/wrf-docker - please follow the steps in docker-vol/README.md in order to create the docker volume(s) (at least the low-res volume is required).
- install IDV from https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idv/
