Such errors are common in wrf. Mostly occurs due to hidden characters in namelist. Try a different namelist with the same values as your current.
 
Hi,

I am still running into issues regarding "invalid parent id" with real.exe. I have used namelist examples (I am tyring to run with Dust using the WRF-Chem tutorial Exercise 1 example) and edited them such that I do not believe there are any hidden characters. Furthermore, I ran real.exe using just the coarse domain, d1, and had no issues. But when I modify that namelist for nesting with d1 and d2, I get the above above. I am attaching my namelist.input that is for a nested domain (2 total domains), the error output, and the namelist.wps (this has 3 domains, for I eventually want to have 2 nests + the coarse domain).
Any addition thoughts for how to troubleshoot would be greatly appreciated.
Best,
Paul

Hi Paul,
I think the problem may be rooted from your setting of i/j_parent_start. You have those set to 5, meaning just 5 spaces in from the edge of the boundary. You need a decent amount of buffer zone between each domain, and that is not nearly enough. As a side note, your domain sizes are also too small. We advise to have e_we and e_sn atleast 100x100. Take a look at this best practice page that provides recommendations for good domain set-ups: http://www2.mmm.ucar.edu/wrf/users/namelist_best_prac_wps.html
 
Hi,

Thank you very much for help and pointing me towards the best practices website! I will implement these tips moving forward.

Best,
Paul
