Hi,

Please attach your entire rsl.out/error as this does not provide enough information. Are you certain you have enough disk space?

Jordan
 
Hi,

Are you able to start again from a restart file? Do you notice any fields in the wrfout files that look strange? How many total frames are in the outfile at the time it hangs? 10000 seems like a lot for one file - Have you compiled with NETCDF4?

Jordan
 
yes it is compiled with NETCDF4.
None of the fields in the wrfout file looks strange, all are fine upto wherever it has completed its run

Hi sinisters93,

I encounter the same problem. How did you solve it? Many thanks in advance!
