OWDP system requirements

Last updated: 09/04/2013

OWDP is written mainly in Fortran 90. A few routines for handling BUFR and GRIB files are written in C.

OWDP is intended to run under UNIX or LINUX. It may also run on a Windows PC using Cygwin as a UNIX emulator. OWDP has been tested with the Portland pgf90, the GNU g95, the GNU gfortran, and the SUN compilers with their accompanying C compilers.

OWDP needs the BUFR and GRIB API libraries that can be obtained freely from ECMWF.

When fully installed, OWDP needs about 100-150 MB disk space. This does not, of course, include data files.

The tarred and zipped installation file size is 26MB.

More information can be found in the OWDP User Manual and Reference Guide.
