I'm running a Phoenix case study for a heatwave period in 2019 with a parent and a nested domain. Gridded urban parameters are ingested using the WRFUP tool for d02 only. Running wrf.exe with BEP-BEM, it either runs into errors (see the attached wrf.exe log and rsl files + namelist.input), or keeps running without outputs except for d01's first time step. This is while I have used the same case setup for other cities without any problems. I have listed my unsuccessful attempts to resolve the issue below. Note that the case runs with sf_urban_physics = 0. I appreciate any suggestions on how to solve the problem. Thanks.
Unsuccessful attempts:
Unsuccessful attempts:
- running for a different heatwave period in 2022
- reducing the time step from 25 to 20, 15, 10, 5
- running with w_damping = 1 and epssm = 0.2, 0.7, and 0.9 as suggested for high topography cases here and here
- reducing d02 domain size (to lower the terrain height in the top right corner to <1000m from 2000-2500m)
- using w2w for urban parameters
- using the default MODIS dataset without any urban parameters ingested (num_land_cat = 21 and use_wudapt_lcz = 0)
- running without excluding written wrfout variables
- running for d01 only
- running with an enlarged d01 (to test a different d01 domain)
- using more CPUs
- I'm using WRF-Comfort installed on WRF v4.5.2.
