missing wrfinput_d03 file

[dingss]

Hi all,

I am trying to run a nested simulation with 3 domains by using WRF4.0. When I set max_dom = 2, the model works well and I can see the final wrfout files. But when I set max_dom = 3, it crashed when I run real.exe, it only creates wrfbdy_d01, wrfinput_d01, and wrfinput_d02, but there is no file for d03.

The file rsl.error.0000 and rsl.out.0000 don't provide any error message.
The pbs log shows: /var/spool/torque/mom_priv/jobs/2782636.mu01.SC: line 18: 3470 Killed
./real.exe 2>&1 > log.real.pbs

I will also attach my namelist file.

Could anyone please provide some guidance on how to adjust my approach?
Any help with this problem would be appreciated!

Hi,
Your domains are very large. I suspect that either you are running out of disk space in the directory where the files should be written, or you will need to use a great deal more processors (you could try 100). You'll need to use even more for WRF. See Choosing an Appropriate Number of Processors.

Yes that is indeed the problem. it works when I use more processors. I thought real.exe was a single-core process. Thanks very much!

Great! I'm glad you were able to resolve the issue, and thank you for the update!
