Dear users,
I compile WRF-ARW v. 3.9.1 and v.3.9.1.1 successfully on Intel(R) 64, Version 19.1.1.217 Build 20200306 compiler. When I run real.exe with the both version I have the same error:

taskid: 0 hostname: nv026.avitohol.acad.bg

I read on the Internet that other users get the same error, but I did not find an answer on how to fix it.

I use th GFS Data 0.25x0.25 deg with filter and I run them on the other Intel machine with WRF v.3.6.1 without problem.

Thank you in advance for your reply.
 
Thank you very much for your answer .
I did this. I also found a bug in the domains in namelist.input and now I run WRF.
 
Hi,

I am getting the same error when running real.exe

How did you fix the error?

Here is the domains section of my namelist:

&domains
time_step = 30, 6,
time_step_fract_num = 0, 0,
time_step_fract_den = 1, 1,
max_dom = 2,
e_we = 360, 676,
e_sn = 240, 446,
e_vert = 27, 27,
p_top_requested = 11000,
num_metgrid_levels = 30, 30,
num_metgrid_soil_levels = 4, 4,
dx = 5000, 1000,
dy = 5000, 1000,
grid_id = 1, 2,
parent_id = 1, 1,
i_parent_start = 1, 90,
j_parent_start = 1, 35,
parent_grid_ratio = 1, 5,
parent_time_step_ratio = 1, 5,
feedback = 0,
smooth_option = 0, 0,

Thanks!
 
Hi,
For me, the mistake was that in the 3rd domain the dimensions in namelist.wps were different from those in namelist.input in WRFV3. When I put the right dimensions in namelist.wps real.exe and wrf.exe run OK.
 
Please change the nameless options from:
time_step = 30, 6,
time_step_fract_num = 0, 0,
time_step_fract_den = 1, 1,
num_metgrid_levels = 30, 30,
num_metgrid_soil_levels = 4, 4,

to:
time_step = 30,
time_step_fract_num = 0,
time_step_fract_den = 1,
num_metgrid_levels = 30,
num_metgrid_soil_levels = 4,

Then try again. Let me know if you still cannot run REAL.EXE.
 
Hi,

Thanks very much for your suggestion. I made the changes but I am still encountering the same error with REAL.EXE

------ ERROR while reading namelist domains ------
-------------- FATAL CALLED ---------------

ERRORS while reading one or more namelists from namelist.input.

Any other suggestions you have would be appreciated.
 
This time the error comes from &domai. Please set feedback = 0, then try again.
Let me know if you still have problems.
 
Hi,

Still having the same problem unfortunately, feedback was already set to 0.
This is the &domains section of my namelist:
