Missing timestamps in wrfsfdda files when running obsgrid.exe

[dbpartha]

Hi, I am facing issues with missing timestamps on wrfsfdda files mainly for domain01 and domain02 (example attached) and sometimes domain03 no matter what I do (e.g., re-running WPS executables, re-downloading upper and surface obs data, re-running get_rda_data.exe, changing the nameless.oa or compiling OBSGRID from scratch). Due to such missing timestamps, my WRF4.4.2 run crashes on the first missing timestamp (i.e., 2023-06-21 03:00:00"). I am attaching my trial and error file, namelist.oa, namelist.wps, namelist.input, obsgrid.out files here. Kindly help. Let me know if any other file is needed. Thank you.

Obsgrid.out files were not shared earlier due to large file size. Google drive links of obsgrid.out files are shared now below:

obsgrid.out.20250301_d01.txt:obsgrid.out.20250301_d01.txt

obsgrid.out.20250301_d02.txt: obsgrid.out.20250301_d02.txt

I found the solution from my lab alum, I was using multiple processors (NPROCS) to submit a slurm job for obsgrid.exe which was overwriting the wrfsfdda files (hence missing timestamps). I submitted the job without NPROCS and wrfsfdda files are having all the timestamps.
