Dear all,

I am using the WRFV3.9.1 and I am trying to perform a 1 minute simulation starting the model from a restart file. The simulation ends without apparent erros but the only file I obtained from this simulation is the wrfrst file. No wrfout file is obtained. Why I am not obtaining wrfout files?

The parameters in the namelist.input I use are the following:

&time_control
run_days = 0,
run_hours = 0,
run_minutes = 1,
run_seconds = 0,
start_year = 2018,
start_month = 10,
start_day = 09,
start_hour = 06,
start_minute = 10,
start_second = 00, 00,
end_year = 2018,
end_month = 10,
end_day = 09,
end_hour = 00,
end_minute = 11,
end_second = 00, 00,
interval_seconds = 10800,
input_from_file = .true., .true.,
fine_input_stream = 0, 0,
history_interval = 1,
frames_per_outfile = 1, 1,
restart = .true.,
restart_interval = 1,
io_form_history = 2,
io_form_restart = 2,
io_form_input = 2,
io_form_boundary = 2,
io_form_auxinput2 = 2,
debug_level = 50,
nwp_diagnostics = 0,

As you can see, wrf.exe is not writing wrfout file...

Thank in advance,

Hi Diego,

Maybe, try the following settings, this is from the User guide:

Code:
If the history and restart intervals are changed in a restart run, and the outcome isn’t what
is expected to be, use namelist ‘override_restart_timers = .true.’

If history output is desired at the time of restart, use namelist
‘write_hist_at_0h_rst = .true.’

Thank you very much Sudheer,

I used these parameters and now the problem is solved.

I appreciate your help.

Best regards,
Diego
