Good afternoon,
I have an issue with running WRF in a moving nest configuration (preset moves). The model works great and we have performed several simulations. Now we would like to use high resolution input fields for the geographical features but it seems that we came across several problems. Here are the steps we've followed up to now
1) We use model version 4.4.2 compiled with TERRAIN_AND_LANDUSE option activated (please find our configure.wrf in the attachments)
2) For WPS we have downloaded the "Highest Resolution of each Mandatory Field" but it seems that geogrid.exe cannot find the landuse for 30s when using 'usgs_30s+default’' in the namelist.wps (in the attachment). If however we download landuse_30s_with_lakes dataset for simulations prior to 2000, then it seems that geogrid can run if we select 'usgs_lakes'.
3) We have then downloaded the dataset from here: https://www2.mmm.ucar.edu/wrf/src/wrf_files/data4movingnest.html and included the necessary entries to the namelist.input (see attachment).
4) The real.exe runs well but wrf crushes after performing the first move (rsl.error/out.0000 in the attachment).
5) If we run the model with input_from_hires = .false., .false., then it runs without problem.
6) One additional question about the high resolution fields: Should high resolution geographical features be interpolated to the nested domain only after the first move or since the first model output? (in our case the nested domain starts same time with the parent domain).
Thank you for all help,
Kind regards,
Manos
