GIS4WRF is a free and open source QGIS plug-in to help researchers and practitioners with their Advanced Research Weather Research and Forecasting modelling workflows. GIS4WRF can be used to pre-process input data, run simulations, and visualize or post-process results. We offer MPI-enabled pre-built binary distributions for Windows, macOS and Linux through WRF-CMake.

For information on how to install GIS4WRF, or check out the main documentation and tutorials, please refer to the GIS4WRF website at https://gis4wrf.github.io.
