    Can WRF-Chem apply to Antarctica?

    Hi everyone, My current research efforts concern the study of nitrate levels in Antarctica by WRF-Chem 4.4.2. (chem_opt = 202). Nevertheless, the current modeling results are significantly lower than our observed data. It is possible that the discrepancy is caused by the emission inventory used...

    Error in running WRF-Chem using RADM2-MADE/SORGAM after making boundary conditions for nested domain using ndown

    Hello everyone, I gave a WRF-Chem run of the direct effect using the RADM2-MADE/SORGAM chemistry option. The thing is, the simulation of the parent domain was completed successfully without throwing any errors or warnings. But when I gave a simulation for the nested domain after including...

    Segmentation fault with MOZCART and Finn

    Hello all, I am using FINNv2.5 for a biomass burning simulation with WRF-Chem v 4.4.1 using MOZCART. I have attached my namelist and rsl file. However, I am running into a segmentation fault that I do not understand how to fix. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Below is part of the error...

    How wrf.exe program reads the wrfchemi_d0* and vertical interpolation to eta level

    Dear all, I am using anthro_emis program to prepare emission file for wrfchem, but don't know how wrfchem reads the wrfchemi_d0* file and vertical interpolation to eta level. If I set the emissions_zdim_stag=34 for vetical levels, is the 34 levels same as wrf-chem eta level which I set in...

    Query on the input file for CBMZ-MOSAIC chemistry option for running anthro_emis to generate anthropogenic emission input files (wrfchemi* files)

    Hello everyone, I want to perform WRF-Chem simulations using the CBMZ-MOSAIC chemistry option to study aerosol-cloud interaction. I want to use anthropogenic emissions from the EDGARv5_MOZART_dataset (from the EDGAR v5.0 emissions inventory speciated for the MOZART chemical mechanism) or...

    Query on the namelist.input file for running WRF-Chem using two domains

    Dear all, I have gone through the WRF-Chem User's Guide and I have some queries on the namelist.input file before running wrf.exe. 1. 'Kemit' is either 1 or 8 on the sample name list in the tutorials provided on the WRF-Chem official website. I am using the EDGARv5_MOZART_dataset (from EDGAR...

    Error in generating chemical lateral boundary conditions

    Dear Sir/Madam, I have gone through the 'WRF-Chem 3.9.1.1 Emissions Guide'. Now, I am using mozbc to generate chemical lateral boundary conditions for WRF-Chem simulations (as described on page 38 of the emission guide). For that, I am using the MOZART-MOSAIC_4BINS input provided in the document...

    On the use of different CBMZ, initial conditions and emissions

    Hi all, I am a new user of WRF-Chem and have several questions related with CBMZ and initialization of the simulation: 1) Can I use prep_chem and/or the programs provided by NCAR to prepare the emissions (bio, anthro) when using the CBMZ chem_opt? 2) Can I use the software mozbc to initialize...

    Grid of emission files not recognized as lat-lon projection, causing a crash

    Dear WRF community, For my MSc thesis research I am running WRF-CHEM with emission files I had to create myself. These emission files have the following naming convention: <wrfchemi_d01_yyyy-mm-dd_HH:MM:SS>. This particular WRF-CHEM simulation covers 24-06-2018 up to 01-01-2018, thus running for...

    p_top_request and input data

    Hello WRF Community, I was wondering if someone could explain the relationship between p_top_request and the ERA5 input data height? I am working on a project that needs to resolve up to the stratosphere and possibly mesosphere and I'm not sure if my p_top_request value needs to change...

    Error in compiling the prep_chem_sources code

    Hello everyone, I want to set up the executable file for PREP-CHEM-SRC (prep_chem_sources_RADM_WRF_FIM.exe) to prepare the chemistry input files for running WRF-Chem. For that, I have downloaded the tar.gz file 'prep_chem_sources_v1.5_24aug2015.tar.gz' from the WRF-Chem ftp site...

    Links given in the WRF-Chem User's Guide and Emissions Guide are not working

    Hello everyone, I have successfully completed the tutorial exercise for dust-only simulations. Now, I am learning how to use the global emission data sets to make the emissions input file. But I learned that many of the links provided in the WRF-Chem User's Guide and WRF-Chem Emissions Guide are...

    SIGSEGV error related to emissions?

    Hi everyone! I was running WRF-Chem3.9.1 with KPP, reinitialized the meteorology every 24 hours but with chemistry field from previous time step when doing re-initialization. After running several days, a SIGSEGV occurred (see all_rsl.error.txt attached). Since I found in the error log file...

    Halogen chemistry

    We would like to evaluate Br emissions from volcanic activity in Air Quality over Mexico City and also effect of Cl from anthropogenic emissions. Does any one have an update WRF-chem code to do it? Thanks in advance
