Hello,
I am new to WRF and WRF-Chem. I am trying to run the exercise1 from WRF-Chem tutorials in this link:
https://ruc.noaa.gov/wrf/wrf-chem/tutorialexercises/tutorialexercises001.html

As I think, the files in this exercise don't need to use ungrib and only using "./link_grib.csh..." is sufficient.

I did ./geogrid.exe successfully and after that, based on the tutorial, I have typed: ./metgird.exe and this is the error:

Processing domain 1 of 1
Processing 2010-07-14_00
FILE
WARNING: Couldn't open file FILE:2010-07-14_00 for input.
ERROR: The mandatory field TT was not found in any input data.

It is my namelist:
View attachment namelist.wps

Please let me know if you have any idea about the error,
Thanks in advance
 
Hello,
I have solved my problem and I am posting it for everyone who may have the same problem,

My metgrid.exe was looking for files with the name "FILE:2010-07-14_00 " and the data files that I have been downloaded form the exercise 1 in wrf/chem tutorial exercises have the name "FILE_2010-07-14_00"!!!!

I have renamed the files and the problem has been solved! :D
