 The following was taken from the README files for each version. Most of the specifics have remained the same but there are two primary differences that are used in 4.0 but not 3.7: the Hybrid-sigma vertical coordinate coordinates and flux-adjusting surface data nudging.

-====9. Automation====
-Within the 'western' server there are files called 'run_forecast.sh'. These are presumably to automate the WPS and WRF processing system so running one file will produce the WRF outputs. This sh file however calls on three others, '.wrf_init.sh', '.wrf_run.sh', '.wrf_proc.sh', and 'get00Z.sh'.
-    */wrf/west_370_MP_8_alt/.run_forecast.sh - Main file in charge of starting the WPS process.
-    */wrf/WPS/.wrf_init.sh - Runs data files through ungrib, metgrid, and geogrid.
-    */wrf/WRF/.wrf_run.sh - Runs the WRF run file.
-    */wrf/rip_proc/.wrf_proc.sh - Displays post WRF products.
