    How to save time series data only for specific domain in WRF and set output directory?

    I'm currently working on running a simulation with the WRF model and need some guidance regarding time series output. My simulation involves three nested domains, but I'm interested in saving time series (tslist option) data only for the innermost domain. Is there a way to disable time series...

    How to use vert_refine_method=2 with ndown.exe?

    When I set rebalance=0 I get the following error: --- ERROR: vert_refine_method=2 only works with rebalance=1

    How to use vert_refine_method=2 with ndown.exe?

    I have an output of a simulation with WRF with three nested domains (9 km, 3km and 1 km), from the 1 km output I want to generate lateral and initial conditions for a 200 m domain (0.2 km) using the ndown program. However, I would like this 200m domain to be more refined vertically, so I set...

    How to get the solar position variables used by WRF-Solar

    I am interested in the variables SWDDNI, SWDDIF and SWDOWN and also in the solar position variables (zenithal and azimuthal angle) used during the model integration to calculate the irradiance variables. With the option solar_diagnostics = 1, I have the COZEN variable in the output, which is the...

    Obtain average irradiance values in each model output

    Hello Tim, Thank you very much, this accumulated variable will be very useful for researching solar resources. Are there any plans to extend these increments in the code to the other irradiances as well? All the best, Robson

    Obtain average irradiance values in each model output

    Dear, I hope you are well. The SWDOWN, SWDDNI and SWDDIF values represent the instantaneous irradiance, right? Is there a way to get these average values for each output? For example, hourly output from the WRF with the average irradiance values for each hour. Thank you very much in advance...

    Does grid decomposition affect simulation speed?

    Dear, I am preparing a simulation whose domains have the following numbers of grid points: I have two computational nodes available with 64 cpus each, I wonder if the most correct is to use 128 cpus, which decomposes into 8 NTASKS_X and 16 NTASKS_Y or 120 cpus that decomposes into 10 NTASKS_X...

    About interpolation of SST data

    Dear, I am running WRF with 9 and 3 km nested grids. I am using the sst_update option, the SST data are from the ERA5 reanalysis (~31 km), however the ERA5 SST data are being horizontally interpolated using ERA5's own LAND mask, a variable called LANDSEA, which does This variable has a very...

    Strange patterns in WRf-solar irradiance variables

    Dear Dr. Jimenez, Thank you very much for your response. In fact, these patterns are the effect of clouds. However, the shape of these patterns still seems strange to me. Look at this other example below, it's the GHI variable: It doesn't seem reasonable for clouds to have this pattern, they...

    Strange patterns in WRf-solar irradiance variables

    Dear ones, I am using WRF with the WRF-Solar reference configuration. I'm using two domains: the parent domain has 9 kilometers of resolution and the innermost domain has 3 kilometers of resolution. I'm not using cumulus parameterization, but I'm using Deng shallow cumulus parameterization for...

    ERROR: Ran out of valid boundary conditions in file wrfbdy_d01

    Dear Ming Chen, thank you very much for your reply. In fact, the file wrfbdy_d01 has a date range from 2016-09-20_00: 00: 00 to 2016-09-23_22: 00: 00 and not from 2016-09-20_00: 00: 00 to 2016-09-23_23: 00 : 00, so this error happens, as you mentioned. I just don't understand why the wrfbdy_d01...

    ERROR: Ran out of valid boundary conditions in file wrfbdy_d01

    Dear, I am running WRF for 4 days of simulation. My simulation starts on the date 2016-09-20_00:00:00 and ends on the date 2016-09-23_23:00:00 with interval_seconds = 3600. However, the following error is occurring in the last hour of the simulation: I don't understand what the problem is, as...

    Convert Multiband Raster to WPS binary (RESOLVED)

    Thanks a lot for the help. The suggestion made in this topic recommended by you worked for me, I converted each band in the Geotiff file to binary raster individually and then I applied the cat command to join the binaries into a single file.

    Convert Multiband Raster to WPS binary (RESOLVED)

    Dear, I hope you are well. I generated a raster (geotiff) file with 12 bands (each band is a month). This file has albedo data. I want to replace the default albedo data used by WPS with this new data that I generated. I researched a lot and found that GDAL has a limitation and it would not be...

    How to convert 12 monthly green vegetation fraction data sets into a binary file

    Hi, I also have the same question. I wonder if anyone has managed to convert the 12 months of albedo or LAI to the binary raster format that WPS uses. Respectfully, Robson
