not writing wrfout_d0* files in WRF 4.0 after completion of run

[nitinpatil85]

I am running WRF.exe for one day starting from 26 and ending at 27 (3 domains).

seems run is completing successfully but not writing the Writing wrfout_d01/2/3_2017-07-27_00:00:00 at the end instead of this it is just keeping
wrfout_d01/2/3_2017-07-26_00:00:00

I am expecting to write wrfout_d01/2/3_2017-07-27_00:00:00 not by the starting date, any help!

Can you issue the command: ncdump -v Times wrfout_d01_2017-07-27_00:00:00?

I suppose you can find that all times of output are saved in the same single file.

If you want them to be in separate wrfout files, please modify your namelist.input and set the option:

frames_per_outfile = 1, 1, 1,

Then rerun the case.

Hi Ming,
Thanks,

It includes all the steps which I needed, I don't need separate files. so kept frames_per_file 1000

Why I am getting file name by start date 26 not by 27 as a final wrfout.
I am getting this filename wrfout_d01_2017-07-26_00:00:00

If you set frames_per_outfile = 1000, 1000, 1000, then each wrfout file will consist of 1000 times of output. The first output file is wrfout_d01/2/3_2017-07-26_00:00:00. Although the time in its name is 2017-07-26_00:00:00, it actually includes wrfout files at all other times. This is why I suggest you issue the command: ncdump -v Times wrfout_d01/2/3_2017-07-26_00:00:00, which will yield all the times when wrfout files are written.

Hi Ming,

Thanks for your reply. I have checked earlier with ncdump and it includes all the timesteps.
I was only wondering about the name of wrfout was not the end_date but in earlier version it was, so thought better to clarify.

Thanks again for your support!
