    QNCLOUD in morr_double_moment_aero scheme

    I am using the Morrison double-moment aero microphysics scheme (mp=40). This scheme allows for initial droplet prediction through a variable INUM (line 354). By default, INUM=1.There is also a variable QDCNST=250, which is the initial constant cloud droplet concentration at Line 359. Since I am...

    Persistent crash in WRF (v4.5) that occurs after the 3rd model day [SIGTERM Error]

    Dear WRF Community, I’m currently troubleshooting a persistent crash in WRF v4.5 that consistently occurs after the third model day, with the following error: I'm running at 15 km resolution, using Noah-MP (sf_surface_physics=4) and the following physics setup: What I’ve Tried and Observed...

    Using 'getvar' to extract all WRF variables

    I'm running 1km simulations (soon to move down to 250m) and I'm having memory issues using 'getvar' to extract the variables. I can get T2, rh2, td2, uvmet10, uvmet10_wspd_wdir and slp for all times but the remaining variables (excluding lat/lon/ter), require a single time index. I've attempted...

    Difference in WRF output for lightning schemes

    Hi, Using the same namelists, in 1km grid-spacing, for WRFv3.8.1, DLP3 lightning scheme is underestimating lightning count whereas for WRFv4.5, DLP3 is overestimating. Can anyone please explain the reason to me? Thanks.

    Issue opening .nc output

    Whenever I finish running the model as 'mpirun -np 14 ./wrf.exe' I get a file that does not have '.nc' extension at the end of it, for example: 'wrfout_d01_2025-04-22_06:00:00' (it doesnt have .nc at the end), and when trying to open it in python (with xarray and netcdf) or in another program...

    Some conerns about WRF4.2.1 and WRF solar

    Hello, I'm newbie to WRF and WRF solar. I'm asking you to help me clarify some concerns. Here are my questions : 1 - Is WRF solar V1 included in WRF 4.2.1 as stated in: "The WRF version 4.2 includes the enhancements of WRF-Solar Version 1 with upgrades in the physical parameterizations as well...

    How to output the total potential temperature tendency in WRF3.9.1.1

    Hi everyone, I'm currently using WRF version 3.9.1.1, and I would like to output the total tendency of potential temperature at a given time. I found the following line in Registry.EM_COMMON: i1 real t_tend ikj dyn_em 1 - It seems that t_tend is exactly the...

    Sudden Jump in PREC_ACC_NC After Restart in Idealized TC Simulation

    Hello, I'm using WRF version 4.2.2, configured for automatic vortex following nests. I’m running an idealized tropical cyclone simulation and using prec_acc_dt = 1 to output 1-minute accumulated precipitation (PREC_ACC_NC) at each history output time. I then multiply this value by 60 to...

    How to Make SST Data Match the Coastline in WRF Simulation?

    Hello everyone, I encountered some issues after adding SST data into my WRF simulation. The SST data I used is from the ERA5 reanalysis dataset with a resolution of 27 km. I am using WRF version 4.3.2. The two images below show the visualization of SST and LANDMASK from the wrfout file. As you...

    Running WRF Based on wrfout

    I have successfully simulated meteorological results over a period of time and obtained the wrfout files. Now, I need meteorological data at a finer spatial and temporal scale. Can I use the existing wrfout as input to run WRF again to achieve this goal? Thank you in advance for your help!

    Issues with Single urban canopy model

    Problem: I ran my WRF simulation with sf_urban_physics =1 and sf_urban_physics =0 and seems to show no difference in T2. I also got no errors,warning, or faults in my rsl file. I am using WRF v4.6.0. I think the urban canopy model (UCM) is not activating because it does not finds valid urban...

    WRF won't compute near-surface wind speed

    So I am trying to run a real case in WRF. The ungrib manages to read all files properly, with every field accounted for, including 10m wind speeds. Metgrid also succesfully computes surface level, apparently. But the thing is, in some land points, WRF is not generating wind speed at 100m high...

    WRF data file naming structure different depending on options selected.

    I've recently noticed that when changing the options in the WRF namelist, specifically between using NetCDF (option 2) and PNetCDF (option 11), both the file naming structure and the file sizes change. For instance, with PNetCDF (option 11), the file name follows the format...
