program ndown: error opening wrfout_d01_2024-07-11_00_00_00 for reading ierr= -1021

[PL_mod]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to run a one-way nesting simulation with ndown.
I am running WPS and real.exe for two nests.
I then rename the 'wrfinput_d02' file to 'wrfndi_d02'.
I change max_dom to 1 and I run wrf.exe.
Then I change again max_dom to 2 and interval_seconds to 3600 and try to run ndown.exe.
I get the following rsl.error.0000:

Any ideas??

Do you have the wrfout* file available in the directory where you're trying to run ndown?

If so, can you issue the following command in the directory where you're running wrf and ndown?
ls -ls > ls.txt

and attach that ls.txt file, as well as the namelist you used for your initial wrf simulation, and the namelist you are using for ndown. Thanks!
