Start to use python to deal with the WRF output. xarray is a very important package to deal with NetCDF and HDF5 data.
As WRF files are not exactly CF compliant: you’ll need a special parser for the timestamp, the coordinate names are a bit exotic and do not correspond to the dimension names, they contain so-called staggered variables (and their correponding coordinates), etc.
salem is needed to parser wrf data. This is useful to slice wrf data in xarray.
