Initialize WRF with HRRR

Dear all,

I tried to initialize WRF with HRRR data download from here.
The HRRR contains both pressure levels and surface (PRF and SFC). From a previous tutorial (WRF with HRRR), it says it doesn't need surface files, which are also the steps that I followed.

I linked the Vtable.hrrr_rap. The ungrib passed (or at least it didn't show any error). The error that I met is that the bottom-top grid is 1 stead of 40 in the tutorial.

I'm not sure which steps that I did is wrong. Will appreciate any helps on this.

Thanks,
Haochen
 
Update:

If I use Vtable.RAP.pressure for pressure files and Vtable.hrrr_rap for surface files, I will get 40 vertical level met_em files.
But soil levels are 0, which led to an error occurring on Real.exe

-------------- FATAL CALLED ---------------
FATAL CALLED FROM FILE: <stdin> LINE: 2680
Not enough soil temperature data for Noah LSM scheme.
-------------------------------------------

I will try the post from here to test. But does anyone know which is the correct Vtable that I should use for HRRR data to initialize WRF?

Thanks,
Haochen
 
Problem solved.
Followed exactly on this tutorial: WRF with HRRR
Need to use their Vtable.HRRR.bkb instead of Vtable.raphrrr or Vtable.RAP.XX
No need to ungrib surface data too.
