AHI data assimilation doesn't emulate channels 1-6(actually channels 7-12)

Hi:
I can only assimilate 7-10 channels of AHI data with WRFDAV4.4.Himawari-8 AHI has 16 channels and WRFDA allows the assimilation of 10 IR channels (channels 7-16),But in the radiance_info/himawari-8-ahi.info it is written as channels 1-10. When entering assimilation, the background values for channels 1-6 are not simulated, resulting in data rejection for all channels 1-6, which I think is due to the difference in channel naming for the radiation transfer mode. I've tried crtm and rttov and the results are the same.
Can anyone gives me some help please, thanks in advance.

Here is himawari-8-ahi.info, 01_qcstat_himawari-8-ahi and a part of 01_oma_himawari-8-ahi.0000

Is the VIS band assimilation algorithm not developed?
VIS is not supported, but the 10 channels supported by WRFDA for Himawari-8 AHI are all IR channels.Write 1-10 channels in WRFDA, actually read 7-16 of channels.
 
hello sunhh
may i see your namelist.input, himawari-8.ahi.info, and ahi_info file?

i tried to assimilate himawari-8 and always got an error

Code:

ahi.zip is what you need. According to your error, I don't think you link the radiance_info folder.

i see that you use cv options=5. i using cv options=3 from wrfda does it matter?
cv3 works fine. As I said above, your erros is not providing the radiance_info/himawari-8-ahi.info file correctly.Checking your radiance_info and himawari-8-ahi.info path is what you should do now.
 
Well the problem is i already linked the folder radiance_info and edit the himawari-8-ahi.info to the folder. i tried to make new work dir and linked it again and its still the same. i tried to copy the himawari-8.ahi.info file to the work dir and its still the same. I'm new to radiance assimilation can you tell me how to fix it?

I initially found the problem. CRTM works fine, while RTTOV 1-6 channels do not simulate brightness temperature. I think this is the reason why wrfda is not consistent with rttov. WRFDA writes channels 7-16 as 1-10 and adapts crtm, while RTTOV does not adapted.
 
After the version update of WRFDAV4.5, the ahi assimilation related files have been modified. At present, WRFDA can assimilate the data of ahi 10 channels by using both RTTOV and CRTM, but there are still bugs. When using RTTOV, the himawari-8-ahi.info which in radiance_info needs to set the channel numbers to 1-10(first picture).But when using CRTM, the himawari-8-ahi.info needs to set the channel numbers to 7-16(secend picture).I hope this can help people in the future, and I also hope that WRFDA developers will notice this and fix bugs in time.

Thank you so much for your reminder, I have been struggling with this for a long time.
