Hi all,

I have same setup ran successfully previously on Cheyenne, and now not running on Derecho. I have generated the met_em* files and trying to run real.exe and got this error.

This is the path on Derecho

Hi,
I believe there is something wrong with the met_em.d01.2012-04-01_00:00:00.nc file. If I go to your WPS directory and do a full listing on the met_em* files, I can see this:

As you can see, the first file is much smaller than all the others. I ran a real.exe test with a namelist that started with 2012-04-01_00 and got the same error as you, but if I set the start time to 3 hours later, it runs fine.
 
Hi,

Thanks Kwerner, the simulation runs fine too when I jump the first met_em* file. Just wandering why met_em.d01.2012-04-01_00:00:00.nc is ridiculously smaller than others. Thanks.

Ifeanyi.
 
I'm not really sure. Can you try to reprocess just that single time (2012-04-01_00:00:00) with metgrid and see if the file size looks better?
