+# Weather Research and Forecasting
+
+[Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF)](https://www2.mmm.ucar.edu/wrf/users/) is a state-of-the-art atmospheric modeling system designed for both meteorological research and numerical weather prediction. The official source code, models, usage instruction, and most importantly the user license, are found in the [official repository](https://github.com/wrf-model/WRF/).
+
+## The University of Manchester distribution
+
+In our systems we provide repackaged containers developed by the Central Research IT Service of the University of Manchester. The [repository for `wrf-docker`](https://github.com/UoMResearchIT/wrf-docker/) provides individual Docker containers for the following packages:
+
+- [WRF-WPS (`wrf-wps`)](https://github.com/UoMResearchIT/wrf-docker/pkgs/container/wrf-wps/): provides the main WRF and WPS applications
+- [WRF-Chem (`wrf-chem`)](https://github.com/UoMResearchIT/wrf-docker/pkgs/container/wrf-chem/): provides the WRF-Chem application
+- [WRF-4DVar (`wrf-4dvar`)](https://github.com/UoMResearchIT/wrf-docker/pkgs/container/wrf-4dvar/): provides the WRFPLUS and WRF-4DVar extensions
+
+## Available versions in the UL HPC systems
+
+In the UL HPC system we support [Singularity containers](/containers). The University of Manchester containers have been repackaged as Singularity containers for use in our systems. The Singularity containers are:
+
+- WRF-WPS version 4.3.3: `/work/projects/singularity/ulhpc/wrf-wps-4.3.3.sif`
+- WRF-Chem version 4.3.3: `/work/projects/singularity/ulhpc/wrf-chem-4.3.3.sif`
+- WRF-4DVar version 4.3.3: `/work/projects/singularity/ulhpc/wrf-4dvar-4.3.3.sif`
+
+There should be one-to-one correspondence when running the Singularity containers in UL HPC systems and when running the Docker containers in a local machine.
+
+!!! tip
