(RESOLVED) "ERROR: Data not found" with FV3 input

[hellyj]

Aloha. I'm attempting to run WPS 4.0 with FV3 input rather than the 'standard' GFS. Ungrib is complaining about something but I can't tell what it is. Ferreting around for information leads me to believe it is not happy with the input in some sense but I'm looking for a thread to pull on to figure out what it's unhappy about. Any advice would be welcome. Here's the tail of the log output.

Aloha.
I may have found the problem and it seems to be in my download processing. I'm re-testing.

What are you using as input? If you are using the NCEP data to run the model, it won't work., It is an
entirely different format.

I don't think the FV3 model output is compatible with WRF. I suspect NCEP runs postprocessing to convert it
to the "standard" format.

Have you tried the FV3 parallel run output from ftpprd.ncep.noaa.gov? It should be in a format that WRF
is happy about, as it is in the same format as the current, and soon to be retired, GFS model.

If you process FV3 data, You may also need to add the option in &ungrib:

pmin = 100.
