    [WPS] SRTM topography not properly recognized in geo_em after geogrid – help with .index or workflow?

    Hello, I'm currently trying to use custom SRTM-based topography data in WPS (v4.x), but encountering issues where terrain height (HGT_M) in the generated geo_em.d0*.nc files appears flat or incorrect. Process: I downloaded SRTM data using QGIS and exported it as GeoTIFF (.tif). I used GDAL to...

    Issue with Custom Land Use Data (BIL) Not Being Applied in geogrid.exe

    I am trying to use a custom EGIS Land Use dataset for WRF-UCM by converting it into a binary (BIL) file. However, after running geogrid.exe, the generated geo_em.d03.nc file does not reflect my custom dataset, and LU_INDEX remains at 17 across the entire domain. Steps I Followed: Converted an...

    After running geogrid.exe for a long time, the terminal did not return commands, but the calculation had already been paused

    This is my first time asking on a forum, and I am a new WRF user. I'm running PolarWRF in the Antarctic region. But there is something wrong with my experiment. When running geogrid.exe for the first time, an error occurred: Could not open ...../WPS_GEOG/ramp1km/index. I downloaded the...

    WRF real.exe "grid%tsk unreasonable" error after Landuse preprocessing

    Hi, I'm working on customizing Landuse data for WRF and encountered an issue when running real.exe. The model stops with the error message: grid%tsk unreasonable I suspect the issue is related to Landuse preprocessing. Here are the steps I took to integrate the land cover data: Custom...

    Problems with LU_INDEX variable in nested domain

    Hello, I want to perform a real case simulation in which I have one nested domain. The namelist.wps and the GEOGRID.TBL I used are in the zip folder attached here (GEOGRID.TBL is the default one). Geogrid program successfully completes and parent domain looks fine, but when I check the...

    Converting Geotiff Based Land Use Data into WRF Available One

    Hi! I am confusing with the land use category mapping with the Geotiff data from jaxa. My original Geotiff data is from here. https://www.eorc.jaxa.jp/ALOS/en/dataset/lulc/lulc_v2312_e.htm (Coordinate system and category numbers are listed in this page. Notice the category order is not followed...

    NUDAPT vs UT-Globus Distribution of Building Heights UCP

    I was using NUDAPT dataset provided on the WPS_GEOG data website for running BEPBEM WRF simulations. I later developed my own set of UCPs required from the explicit building footprints and building heights data we had. I followed some of the older documentations of NUDAPT...

    LCC proyection, chosing truelat 1 y truelat 2

    Dear all, is there a guideline or "best practices manual" for choosing the values of truelat1 and truelat2 when using an LCC (Lambert Conformal Conic) coordinate system? For context, I am working with four nested domains with resolutions of 27 km, 9 km, 3 km, and 1 km. The finest domain...

    New twist on the "program wrf: error opening wrfinput_d01 for reading ierr= -1021" real.exe error

    Hi all, There have a few posts on this issue, but I'm in the unusual position that it seems to have been triggered by changing the land-cover specification. I've been using the same namelist.wps and namelist.input, but between yesterday and today I modified the GEOGRID.TBL file to match...

    Adding outer domain to pre-existing 2-domain configuration

    I am working on a project that is running multiple high-resolution (3 km) simulations of events spanning the entire 20-th and 21-st centuries. We have completed all but one of our events after 1940 (~25 events total) using ERA5 as our forcing dataset with a 9-3 km two-domain nesting setup. We...

    Problems in LU_INDEX in nested domain

    Hello! I'm running a simulation using a namelist provided during a wrf tutorial (attached below) which uses the NLCD dataset for static data. Everything seems to be ok for the first domain, while the second domain shows some problems with the LU_INDEX variable (see the image below). I noticed...

    WRF-Fire fuel and topographic data not processed by geogrid.exe

    Hello! I'm running WRF-Fire for the first time so I'm following the tutorials on youtube. I'm stuck at the geogrid step because I see that geogrid runs successfully but does not processes NFUEL_CAT and ZSF. I followed carefully the instructions of the tutorial so I can't understand where is the...

    Using geogrid.exe for Antarctica (Antartica), help with DEM data

    Good morning from Chile. I would like your assistance with this; using WPS4.1; I'm a computer specialist, and not an Earth-science minor/major, so I'm a bit in the dark regarding this. We are trying ro create a set of nested domains for Antarctic continent (Antarctica/Antarctica); I'm also...

    Is it recommended to use the same spatial resolution for all surface parameters?

    Dear users, The WRF model has 30 arc-seconds (~900 meters) as the higher spatial resolution by default. I read many papers where authors changed the topography (HGT) to a higher resolution (e.g. 90 meters). I also managed to change it. But now I have a question. The another surface parameters...

    Urban canopy parameters ingestion into WPS/ WRF

    I am trying to ingest city specific urban canopy parameters that I developed using buildings heights and footprints data. The UCPs I built were: 1) Mean Building Height, 2) Distribution of building heights for 5m bins, 3) Area weighted mean building height, 4) Standard deviation of building...

    How do I get the LCZ part of CGLC_MODIS_LCZ_global to work?

    I am not sure why, but when I try using the above dataset and run geogrid.exe the result is pure MODIS- no LCZ categories at all. The paper on the dataset says that the GEOGRID.TBL entry needs to have higher priority than default MODIS, but if the priority is different in the GEOGRID.TBL.ARW_LCZ...
