View attachment namelist.inputHello,
I am trying to run WRF at convection permitting resolution (d1 =9 and d2=3). I currently have my time step =16 and ERA-Interim to drive WRF.

After running real.exe I get a warning that "vapor pressure exceeds total pressure, setting Qv to 1.E-6", although I also get the message that real.exe has run successfully;

I go ahead and run wrf.exe and I get the following at the bottom of rsl.error.0000

Any hints about how to resolve this to enable wrf.exe run to the end will be appreciated.
Also the water vapour issue after running real.exe.

Hi,
Thanks. Can you please package all of your rsl.* files into one *.tar file and attach that? Can you also attach your wrfinput_d01 file?
 
Hello,
Kindly find the requested files attached.
Kind regards

Hi,
I have a few suggestions:

1) If you do a full listing on your rsl* files, you'll see that rsl.out.0007 has a file size of 5.1GB, while all the others are 2.3 MB. Any reason why this would be happening? This is likely a problem with your system, and not related to WRF, itself. I have a strong suspicion that this is causing the model stop. Even when code is compiled with large file support (which v4.0.3 is, by default), the largest file size you can output is 4 GB, without causing problems. I would look into why this may be happening - you may need to discuss this with your systems administrator of your institution, if you have one.

2) I would suggest turning off debug_level (i.e., set this to 0). We actually removed this option from the default namelist beginning with V4.0 because it doesn't really provide any insightful information and simply makes the rsl* files large and difficult to sort through.

3) Your domains are pretty large, and you're only using 24 processors. This could be another hindering component to your runs. I would suggest increasing the number of processors. Take a look at this FAQ regarding the ideal number of processors to use: http://forum.mmm.ucar.edu/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=73&t=5082
I would try to increase by a decent amount (without having too many - based on the rule of thumb in that post) if you have that capability.

Kelly
