Convert_emiss.exe run problem

[Georgii Nerobelov]

I`m trying to generate BC and IC of anthropogenic emissions (NEI data set) using tutorial from "WRF-Chem 3.9.1.1 Emissions Guide" (chapters 2.3 and 2.4) and information from Exercise 3 (https://ruc.noaa.gov/wrf/wrf-chem/tutorialexercises/tutorialexercises003.html). Everything is OK except the final step - running convert_emiss.exe. After I run the executable the programm gets into a loop which doesn`t stop itself and doesn`t generate any output files. As I could understand from the convert_emiss.f90 file, subroutine "geth_newdate" can`t provide a correct next_date_char. For instance, my start_date_char and end_date_char are 2019-09-17_00:00:00 and 2019-09-17_11:00:00 respectfully and I expect that after every loop next_date_char=start_date_char+1 hour. But in my case next_date_char=start_date_char every loop (and you can see it from attached log.file).
Is someone familiar with the problem? I will appreciate any help.
Thank you in advance.

Hi, Georgii.

Did you managed to solve the issue with the convert_emiss executable?
I'm having the same issue with this file. It doesn't stop looping through the same initial time... :roll:

Thank you.

Best regards,

Dear, Georgii.

The reason why the convert_emiss.exe is running in loop is because you need to set this option in your namelist.input:

&time_control
auxinput5_interval_m = 60,

However I still have the following error:
...
At line 1268 of file convert_emiss.f90 (unit = 91, file = 'wrfem_12to24z_d01')
Fortran runtime error: I/O past end of record on unformatted file

Anyone knows why this happens?

Cheers,
Rui Silva

Hey I'm having a similar issue and getting a Fortran runtime error when running convert_emiss.exe, were you able to resolve this?

Thanks

 

[Georgii Nerobelov]

No, issue is still open, but I`m not working on it now because I have resorted to using Anthro_emiss tool.

Hi,

I am having a similar problem running convert_emiss.exe.

The wrfchemi_00z_d01 file is produced, but it only has 1 time level (it is supposed to have 12 hours).
Can anyone help me with is? Thanks!!!

Hi Bessie,

Yes the convert emissions tool has had some difficulties and there are planned fixes. For your case, It looks like you are running into memory options. Depending on the system you are using, try increasing the available memory (e.g., on a SLURM scheduler, --mem-per-cpu=XXG) or place "limit stacksize unlimited" and/or "ulimit -s unlimited" in your runscript.

Dear Jordan,

Thanks for your advice.

I tried "ulimit -s unlimited", but the problem still exists. I also tried using larger time steps, but it doesn't work.

Best,
Bessie
