Hi, I have a WRF model output, that has only one time step; I don't even have namelist.input. Is it possible to do ARWPost? If it is possible, can you please explain it to me?

Post processing WRF output for single time step with out namelist.input

- Start date
ARWpost can process wrfout files no matter how many time steps are included. So the answer is yes.
This document describes how to use ARWpost: WRF Post-processing — WRF Users Guide documentation
However, note that ARWpost is no longer developed and we only provide limited support to this package. We recommend you to switch to NCL and Python to process wrfout files.

thank you for your response

namelist.ARWpost
datetime
start_date = '2020-11-26_00:00:00',
end_date = '2020-11-26_01:00:00',
interval_seconds = 3600
tacc = 0,
debug_level = 0,
i given only datetime part, remaining parts are correct,
when i am running this, i am getting this error
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thank you for your reply, When i am trying to check my wrfout file by using
ncdump -h wrfout_d02_2020-11-26_00
ncdump -v Times wrfout_d02_2020-11-26_00
i am getting error like
ncdump: wrfout_d02_2020-11-26_00: NetCDF: Unknown file format.
It is showing that it is not a NetCDF file but a WRF output only. Have you ever faced this kind of problem? If yes, can you please help me?
ncdump -h wrfout_d02_2020-11-26_00

Thank you for taking the time to reply.
I realized that since my file is in HDF format, it is not possible to post-process it using ARWPost. Do we have any tools to post-process the wrfout?

NCL can be used to process HDF data. Please see the website here for more information:
Python is another robust tool.

Hello Ming, when i am post processing the wrout in ncl, i am getting the below error. i haven't changed any thing in WRFUserARW.ncl library. can you please help me to solve this

Would you please send emails to ncl-talk@ucar.edu ? WRFUserARW.ncl is a built-in package by NCL people. I am sorry that I don't really know much of it.
