Hi,
I first would like to apologize for the long delay in response. It seems as though this post was originally overlooked.
There are a couple of ways to output variables that are not already in the wrfout* files:
1) You can modify the registry, but this option requires that you recompile the WRF model (after issuing a ./clean -a, and reconfiguring). For e.g., for this line:
you would need to add an 'h' with the 'r' in the I/O column, so that it would read:
It may also be necessary to add the variable to the package further down in the Registry.EM_COMMON file (here
After you make the change(s), save the Registry.EM_COMMON file, clean the code (./clean -a), reconfigure, and recompile. Then this variable should be listed in your output
2) If it's not necessary to include this in the package in the Registry.EM_COMMON file (you can test this option first to see if you get the output variable - if not, then you likely need to do option 1) above to modify the registry), then you can use the runtime I/O option which allows you to make a namelist modification, include a new .txt file in your running directory, and it's not necessary to recompile the code. You can read about that option here: http://www2.mmm.ucar.edu/wrf/users/docs/user_guide_v4/v4.1/users_guide_chap5.html#runtimeio
