Hello,
Normally, the wrfout file is saved in ./WRF/test/em_real when wrf.exe is executed. Is there a way to change the output destination of wrfout to another location?
 
Yes, in the &time_control section of the namelist you can specify:
Code:
history_outname = '/path/directory/wrfout_d<domain>_<date>'

Obviously the above 'path' and 'directory' would be the actual path to the directory where you would like it, and then the directory itself. Do not change "wrfout_d<domain>_<date>" to anything else. That should be entered exactly as is shown above.
