NWP & Air Quality Modeling with Odycloud support

‘Numerical Weather Prediction & Air Quality Modeling with Odycloud support’ provides a complete package to launch and manage WRF and CMAQ on AWS EC2 instances powered by Graviton4 processors. WRF is a mesoscopic model used by thousands of users worldwide, and able to generate forecasts for a wide range of atmospheric conditions and resolutions. These forecasts serve for operational functions and research purposes. CMAQ represents state-of-the-art air quality modeling able to forecast concentration of air pollutants such as ozone, particulate matters and other toxics.

• Implementation of WRF v4.8 and WPS optimized for AWS Graviton4 instances and clusters providing an optimal balance between cost and performance
• Implementation of CMAQ v5.5 optimized for AWS Graviton4 instances and clusters
• Excellent scalability for clusters with Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA)
• Availability of NICE-DCV connection for high-performance remote display

Steps to use the apps

1. Select the AMI from your Marketplace console
2. Choose an instance powered by Graviton4 processors (instance types: c8, m8, r8, and x8) and launch it like any other Linux instance with a SG
3. Connect to the instance using SSH via putty. MobaXterm or similar. Log in using ‘ubuntu’ as the username
