hello!
I have replaced the default landuse_30s data with awifs landuse data in the default file of landuse_30s data. i could successfully run the real.exe, but at the time of running the wrf.exe it is aborting instantly.
Kindly help...Its urgent.
below is my rsl.error.0000 file:

thank you in advance
 
Hi,

1) Have you tried to run this without the landuse_30s replacement (i.e., with just the default values) to see if you still get the same problem?

2) While there may be a problem with the landuse data, the initial problem is likely due to the size of your domains, which are extremely small. We don't recommend using domain sizes (e_we and e_sn) any smaller than 100x100. Take a look at this best practice page to help you to set up reasonable domains: http://www2.mmm.ucar.edu/wrf/users/namelist_best_prac_wps.html.

3) To piggyback on the above problem, you are using too many processors for the size of the domains. Take a look at this FAQ regarding choosing a reasonable number of processors, based on domain size: https://forum.mmm.ucar.edu/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=73&t=5082

I would first start by increasing the domain size, then ensure you aren't using too few or too many processors. If you are still getting the same problem, then check that this only happens when you use your modified landuse. Let us know. Thanks.
 
hello,
I checked everything whatever you suggested, but same problem came and then i added an attribute named num_urban_layers=5400 and it started running.

thank you.
