Hello,
I would like to running a wrf based on a combined field which consists of ERA5 field and the GFS RH field.
In order to achieve this, I had editted the Vtable file and ungribed them seperately.
1) For ERA5 dataset: edited the Vtable file, remove the RH field of record, reivsed the namelist.wps to set the prerix of ungribbed output file into FILE_era, and running the ungrib.exe
2) For GFS dataset: edited the Vtable file, reserve only for RH field record, reivsed the namelist.wps to set the prerix of ungribbed output file into FILE_q, and running the ungrib.exe
3) the error ecounted when I was running the metgrid.exe:
Processing domain 1 of 1
Processing 2023-07-27_18
FILE_era
FILE_q
ERROR: Error in ext_pkg_write_field
Abort(0) on node 0 (rank 0 in comm 0): application called MPI_Abort(MPI_COMM_WORLD, 0) - process 0

The METGRID.TBL has not changed.
I had uploaded the file into Nextcloud. file name(geo_em.d01.nc, namelist.zip)
can anyone get some generous help? Thanks!

 
Hi,
This error is probably resulting from the fact that the ERA5 data have 38 levels, and the GFS data only have 34 levels. You can try using the WPS utility "mod_levs.exe" to get around this issue.
