    Starting Cost Function Gradient is NaN

    Hi Dan, Have you fixed this problem? I am facing the same problem with WRFDA V 4.3.3. Changing the timestep to smaller values is not fixing it either. The timestep times keep becoming larger and smaller again. If you have found a solution, please help me out. Thankyou, Vijayan.

    (RESOLVED) WRF V4.3 runs are considerably slower than WRFV4.2 with exactly the same namelist options

    Hi, So, I re-installed WRF 4.3 and it seems to be working fine now. Still no clue what went wrong with the previous installation though. Thanks!

    How to decide the sizes of nested domains?

    Hi, I am trying to run WRF with three nested domains of resolutions 18km, 6km and 2km. I need the extent of the outermost domain to be 80 degrees longitudinally, ie from east to west, and 55 degrees latitudinally. Are there any constraints to be kept in mind while deciding the extents of the...

    (RESOLVED) WRF V4.3 runs are considerably slower than WRFV4.2 with exactly the same namelist options

    Hi, I tried the WRF v4.3 run with exactly the same namelist options as that of 4.2, with zadvect_implicit=0. But, the issue still persists, the run was considerably slower as compared to V4.2 runs. I have herewith attached the namelist and rsl files for the run. Thanks.

    (RESOLVED) WRF V4.3 runs are considerably slower than WRFV4.2 with exactly the same namelist options

    Hi, I checked the output files and the sizes are the same for each output time. I checked the rsl files and I found that each timestep is taking six to seven timesteps longer to process in V4.3 than V4.2. I have attached a part of both files. Please help me figure out what might be going...

    (RESOLVED) WRF V4.3 runs are considerably slower than WRFV4.2 with exactly the same namelist options

    Hi, I had been running simulations using WRF V4.2. Now, when I try to do those same simulations again using a new installation of WRF 4.3 version, it is slower by almost six times. Is WRF 4.3 supposed to be this slow or might something have gone wrong with the compilation of the new version (It...

    How to generate ensemble forecasts to be used with WRF genbe to generate background error?

    Hi, I would like to generate background error using ensemble perturbation method. I am using WRF's genbe module. I am fairly new to modeling and I have no idea how to generate the ensemble outputs. Could someone please tell me the steps I have to follow to generate the ensemble outputs? Thankyou.

    No change in background fields after assimilation (4dvar) of gps ztd data, even for singleob test

    Hi, I am trying to assimilate gps ztd data using 4dvar and cv option 3. WRF var runs successfully and wrfvar_output is created but there aren't any increments at all. To check if wrfda is working, I tried assimilating prepbufr data and wrfda worked fine with that data, there was a reasonable...

    How to make sense of gts_omb_oma files?

    Hi, When I try running 3dvar, gts_omb_oma files are produced. I have read that these files contain (observation - background) and (observation-analysis) information. I am not able to understand which column contains what data. Could you please help me understand what each field/column in the...

    WRF stops running after 3-4 hours

    Hi, I am trying to assimilate prepbufr data using 4dvar. The domain resolution is 9km and I want to use an assimilation window of 6 hours. WRF stops with no errors after around 4 hours of integration. Whereas, if I set the assimilation window to 3 hours, there are no issues and wrfvaroutput is...

    CFL errors

    Hi, I am integrating running the model for 24 hours, from 2019-05-18_00 UTC to 2019-05-19_00 UTC. I am getting CFL errors at multiple points of time during the simulation, at 10 UTC, 13 UTC, 15 UTC and 21 UTC. But the simulation gets completed and I get outputs at 2019-05-19_00 UTC. Would it be...
