Respected Members,
I am trying to set up a WRF simulation for December 2018 using the ECMWF meteorological dataset (ERA-Interim). But I am unable to understand the correct process to implementing the initial and boundary conditions for WRF from ERA-Interim.
I have tried to follow the steps mentioned here ‘http://climate-cms.wikis.unsw.edu.au/How_to_run_WRF_with_ERA-Interim_data#Running_WRF_from_ERA-Interim’ (Link-1). For this purpose, I have downloaded ERA-Interim datasets following the below two processes.
Data 1: https://rda.ucar.edu/datasets/ds627.0/index.html#sfol-wl-/data/ds627.0?g=20189
ERA Interim atmospheric model analysis interpolated to pressure levels (uv & sc), ERA Interim atmospheric model analysis for surface.
Data 2: https://apps.ecmwf.int/datasets/data/interim-full-daily/levtype=sfc/
Pressure Level (All Level and All Parameter), Surface (All Step, All Parameter), Invariant (All Parameter).
Primarily while using the Invariant Data following the steps of ‘Link-1’ I end up with the following error in the metgrid process for which there is not any solution in the user forums.
ERROR: Cannot combine time-independent data with time-dependent data for field LANDSEA.mask
After removing the ‘constants_name = INV:1989-01-01_12’ part from the &metgrid section of the namelist I am successfully able to produce the met_em input files but the met_em files produced using Data 1 is larger in size (~250 KB) than the met_em files produced using Data 2.
It will be very helpful for me if anyone could kindly share the correct ECMWF data source for WRF and the step-by-step process of implementing the same as initial and boundary conditions in WRF.
