Dear all,

An error occured when running WRF-Chem v4.0 real.exe, shown in the following:

STARTING WITH BACKGROUND CHEMISTRY
Subroutine input_chem_profile:
READING MEGAN 2 EMISSIONS DATA
mediation_integrate: med_read_wrf_chem_bioemissions: Open file wrfbiochemi_d01
mediation_integrate: med_read_wrf_chem_bioemissions: Read biogenic emissions at time 2015-12-01_00:00:00
d01 2015-12-01_00:00:00 Error trying to read metadata
d01 2015-12-01_00:00:00 File name that is causing troubles = wrfbiochemi_d01
d01 2015-12-01_00:00:00 wrfbiochemi_d01
d01 2015-12-01_00:00:00 Error trying to read metadata
d01 2015-12-01_00:00:00 You can try 1) ensure that the input file was created with WRF v4 pre-processors, or
d01 2015-12-01_00:00:00 2) use force_use_old_data=T in the time_control record of the namelist.input file
-------------- FATAL CALLED ---------------
FATAL CALLED FROM FILE: <stdin> LINE: 324
---- ERROR: The input file appears to be from a pre-v4 version of WRF initialization routines

It seems that the error comes from the input file, i.e., wrfbiochemi_d01. But the file is OK for WRF V3. Could you tell me how to solve it.

Thanks very much for your kindly help and concern.
 
Hi,
I would like to apologize, as this post seems to have been overlooked for review. I've also moved the post to the chemistry section, as this seems to be a chemistry-related problem. Hopefully someone will be able to answer your question soon.
