"I am running WRF-Solar with this configuration, but in the output there is no SWDNI,SWDIF, SWDOWNC and SWDDNIC variabel. There are only SWDOWN, SWDOWN2, SWDOWNC2, GLW, SWNORM and SWDNIC2. "

Please edit the Registry/Registry.EM_COMMON file and replace
this line
state real swddni ij misc 1 - rd "SWDDNI" "Shortwave surface downward direct normal irradiance" "W m-2" ""
with this one
state real swddni ij misc 1 - rdh "SWDDNI" "Shortwave surface downward direct normal irradiance" "W m-2" ""
Note the only change is to add the h character highlighted in bold.

Do the same for the other variables you would like to have in the output.

Finally you will need to recompile WRF.

Hello Tim,

Thank you very much, this is very, very helpful for the research I am doing.

Hello.

Were you able to get the SWDNI,SWDIF, SWDOWNC and SWDDNIC variables by following the suggested approach? I followed the same procedure, but I could not find these variables in the wrfout file.

The following changes I have done in Registry.EM_COMMON and recompiles the WRF (I haven't reconfigured again).

After you make changes in Registry, please recompile the entire model system, i.e.,

./clean -a
./configure
./compile em_real

Then rerun the case. I suppose you should have all the variables in wrfout.

I did exactly that and did not get it from my output. Am I doing it wrong?
 
Which radiation scheme did you use in your case? Note that some variables are not available for all radiation schemes. For example, SWDDNI is only available in CAM, Goddard, RRTMG, and FLW radiation schemes. Please make sure you use the correct radiation options.
