error NetCDF: Attribute not found while running wrf.exe

[darwinblue]

Hi
While running real.exe, I am getting an error though it is successfully completed. I tried with WRF v4.0.3 also but same error is there. I am attaching the error report and namelist.

The error is,

Hi,
I have moved this post to the wrf.exe section of the forum, as this is specific to wrf (and not real.exe, where it was originally posted). The messages you are seeing are simply print-outs from various routines during the wrf.exe process. They shouldn't be anything to worry about, especially since your simulation is running successfully. As long as your results look reasonable, you can ignore these print-outs. We recommend setting debug_level = 0 in your namelist to avoid these "scary" messages that are deceiving. We actually removed the debug_level namelist option from the current default namelists because this variable does not typically provide any useful information and actually can make things more difficult. Turning it on also causes the error logs to be much larger and difficult to look through.

Thank you for the reply. Yes you are right it is really difficult to look through the error logs with debug switched on. I will turn off the debug option.
