Issue with WRF Restart Files for Nested Domains

[shayamila.gamage]

Hi,


I am new to WRF modeling and have been trying to get the restart option working. I am sharing my namelist.input for reference — this domain has been tested before.


After 24 hours, I only see restart files for d01, d02, and d03. Please note that both d03 and d04 are nested within the d02 domain. Previously, I ran the simulation with a restart interval of 7200 seconds, but the simulation ended due to wallclock limits, and at that time I also only got 3 restart files.


Could you please help me understand why d04’s restart file is not appearing and how I can fix this?


Thanks,
Shayamila

Shayamila,

Your namelist.input looks fine to me. I don't have an immediate answer why wrfrst is not created for D04.

Are there any error messages in your rsl files?

Can you run a quick test with the following option:

time_step = 45
restart_interval = 60,
run_days = 0,
run_hours = 1,

Let's see whether the model can create wrfrst for all domains.
