    I'm having trouble running the WRF model.

    Hi, I'm a student who just started learning about the WRF. I want to run the WRF model, but I can't run it due to an error. Attach the namelist and rsl files. I would appreciate it if you could let me know what the problem is. For your information, the data is using ERA5.

    Generating (and perhaps extracting) global meteorological data from WRF - with compensation and/or co-authorship

    Hi all, I am not an atmospheric chemist, but I am an environmental modeler and wear multiple hats, including as a consultant. We have a project using a VOC/Ozone model around the globe, and so we are looking for global weather data. It appears WRF would be suitable, except for its learning...

    WARNING: No channel points found for CHRTOUT

    Hi everyone, I was confused about the warning messages for a long time. I really appreciate it if anyone can provide some suggestions on fix it. I used wrf_hydro_arcgis processing tools to generate routing files. During the process, I added a cvs file that lists the location of each forecasting...

    Setting runs with sf_ocean_physics (options 1 and 2) for domain with land and sea

    I was searching for sf_ocean_physics at the Forum and I found this thread: problems running WRF with sf_ocean_physics option 2. Is mentioned that options 1 and 2 doesn't recognize the difference between land and sea. Mr @jcarlosgm solved that masking and using a conditional. Can someone give me...

    timezone in WRF

    Hello. I'm beginner to the WRF model. I was wondering about the default timezone in WRF. If I use a UTC-based input, the output will be in UTC, no matter where the domain is located, right? So if the model start time is 00:00 UTC on 1 October 2021, will the solar insolation or altitude in the...

    Which way is the more computationally efficient for running wf.exe with one way nesting: (a) by setting feedback to '0' or (b) using ndown.exe?

    Hello everyone, I want to run wrf.exe (WRF-Chem) with one-way nesting because of the limitations of my system (a linux server with 378 GB of RAM and 32 processors). I have gone through the WRF user guide, which explained how to do one-way nesting using 'ndown.exe'. Also, I found the following...
