The `> compile.log` tells the operating system to redirect the output stream from the terminal to a file called `compile.log`. The `2>&1` tells the operating system to merge the standard and error output streams, so `compile.log` will contain both regular output and error messages. The final `&` tells the operating system to run the job in the background, and returns to the terminal prompt.

The compiled code will be created in the `run` directory, and some of the compiled programs will be linked in either of the `test/em_les`, `test/em_quarter_ss` or `test/em_real` directories. Executable WRF files typically have names ending with `.exe` (this just conventional; it is actually not necessary for them to run).
