Initializing WRF with HRRR prs data

[colintully]

Hello,

I am trying to initialize a wrf run with HRRR data from NOMADS.

I keep running into an issue during the metgrid step in WPS where it can't find ST values or even PRES. I noticed someone else was having an issue with this before, see here: Missing values, but mentioned they solved it without sharing how they did it. Has anybody found a way around this issue and if so, can you help me (an maybe others)?

ST and pressure are required variables for WRF/WPS. if the data you download from NOMADS doesn't include these two variables, I would suggest you contact NOAA and ask for a full HRRR dataset. I don't the there is any way to work around the missing data.

I download HRRR from AWS to run WRF: https://noaa-hrrr-bdp-pds.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html
