metgrid error

I would like to do a simulation in wrf by removing topography.
So I change the height (from 1500m to zero)

I modify geogrid file using NCO
ncap2 -s 'where(HGT_M=1500)HGT_M=0.0' geo_em.d01.nc geo_emd01.nc

Then I got following error while running metgrid


Processing domain 1 of 1
ERROR: In read_next_field(), got error code -19.

How to sort this problem? Kindly help
Regards

Jayanti

Jayanti,

After you modified the geo_em.d* files, did you verify that height is, indeed, set to 0 everywhere? Are you able to view the file with something like "ncview?"
 
Jayanti,
There should be a HGT_M variable in your geo_em* files. You must have somehow removed the variable completely. Your goal is to have it there, but set to 0 everywhere.
