Hi,
I am running WRF with nesting. While all the steps upto real.exe have successfully run. wrf.exe is having this error.

I have attached my namelist.input, domain setup and rslerror files. I am not sure, but I have a feeling that the domain setup might be creating an issue?

Hi,
Any nested domain N must lie fully within domain N-1 and should not be too close to the boundaries of domain N-1 for nesting to make sense, since domain N takes its boundary conditions from domain N-1.

I don't know a way to run the domains as you intended, you probably need to run d01 three times, I guess.

Best regards,
Lukas
 
Hi Lukas,

The weird thing is that this set up works on resolution 45, 15 and 5km nesting, but doesn't work for 25, 5 and 1km nesting. What do you think could be the issue with 1km nesting?
 
@ggp17mkm,
When I look in your rsl file, I see several lines like these:
Code:
d07 2013-12-01_00:04:30            5  points exceeded cfl=2 in domain d07 at time 2013-12-01_00:04:30 hours

d07 2013-12-01_00:04:36  MAX AT i,j,k:           53          65           3  vert_cfl,w,d(eta)=   2.753778      -43.87234      9.9363923E-03
These CFL errors indicate the model has become unstable. Please take a look at this FAQ that addresses CFL errors.
