Hello,
I was trying to use ERA Interim reanalysis 6h data to run WRF model. While running real.exe the following error was encountered.

DYNAMICS OPTION: Eulerian Mass Coordinate
alloc_space_field: domain 1 , 648347708 bytes allocated
d01 2016-01-23_12:00:00 Yes, this special data is acceptable to use: OUTPUT FROM METGRID V4.0
d01 2016-01-23_12:00:00 Input data is acceptable to use: met_em.d01.2016-01-23_12:00:00.nc
metgrid input_wrf.F first_date_input = 2016-01-23_12:00:00
metgrid input_wrf.F first_date_nml = 2016-01-23_12:00:00
d01 2016-01-23_12:00:00 Timing for input 0 s.
d01 2016-01-23_12:00:00 flag_soil_layers read from met_em file is 1

I was following instructions given in the blog https://metclim.ucd.ie/2018/03/wrfv3-9-1-with-era-interim-data-on-orr2/
I am unable to find the source of error. Hope somebody will help soon.

Hi,
Can you let me know which version of WRF you are running, and please attach your namelist.input file so that I can take a look? To attach a file, while the text box is open, click on the tab with 3 horizontal lines and follow directions for attaching files. Thanks!
 
Hello there,
thank you very much for your reply. :D
Actually I solved the error. The problem was associated with the METGRID.TBL file.
I replaced the SST section of the METGRID.TBL as follows:

name=SST
interp_option=sixteen_pt+four_pt+wt_average_4pt+wt_average_16pt+search
missing_value=-1.E30
masked=land
interp_mask=LANDMASK(1)
fill_missing=0.
flag_in_output=FLAG_SST

Now the WRFv4.0 forced by ERA-Interim is working fine.
Thank You
