Obsgrid with ERA5 model levels data

[Mary-joe Medlej]

Hello,

I'm running obsgrid to add balloon-sounding data with the ERA5 model levels data. I succeeded in running WPS. However, when I run ./obsgrid.exe, I encounter this error:

Problems with finding the 850, 700, or 500 mb level.
k850= 0, k700= 0, k500= 0.
No_find_levels

Could anyone help?

Thanks in advance.

Note: I've succeded in running obsgrid using pressure level data from ERA5.
I've also succeded in running wrf without obsgrid using the ERA5 model levels. However, when I try to run obsgrid with the ERA5 model levels I have the error mentioned above.

Hi Mary-joe,
As we have talked through email, OBSGRID can only work with data on isobaric levels. I have contacted Allison, who handled this issue when using HRRR model level data. I will keep you updated if there is any feedback. Meanwhile, if you find the solution, please let me know. Thanks in advance.
