Hello there! I'm working on a model over the Gulf of Mexico with ERA5 data I downloaded from the Copernicus Data Store.
The model runs just fine, but it's producing less than 10mm of rainfall when there should be upwards of 80mm. I think there is a problem with how I am processing the ERA5 data in the WPS portion, but I'm not 100% certain what's wrong. I tried mucking about with the different parameterization schemes, but nothing I do changes the quantity of precipitation so I don't really think that's the issue.
The basic steps I go through for the ERA5 data:
1. I ungrib the surface and pressure level data, then do the same for the Invariant file
2. I run metgrid
3. I run real and wrf
Here is a link to the invariant file information because I thought that I might be doing something incorrectly with it:
Here is a link to my ERA5 data:
I have tried running this same test simulation with GFS and NARR data and both are producing rainfall at about 80mm so I was hoping that someone out there has had experience with ERA5 under-performing. Thank you for any advice you can offer.
