(RESOLVED) 'Pressure level output' option in Output Diagnostics not working properly

[Shubhi]

Hello,

I am trying to use the 'pressure level output' option in WRF3.9.1. to save U, V, T at some pressure levels. But instead of these 3-D variables, I am getting V10, U10, T2, Q2 in the auxiliary output file. I have copied selected inputs from my namelist.input file for reference below.

Any inputs/suggestions would be appreciated.


----namelist input--------------------------
&time_control

auxhist23_outname= "wrfpress_d<domain>_<date>"
auxhist23_interval = 180, 180,
frames_per_auxhist23 = 100, 100,
io_form_auxhist23 = 2,

&diag
p_lev_diag = 1
num_press_level = 3,
press_levels = 85000, 70000, 50000,
/
--------------------------------------------

Thanks,
Shubhi

Hi Shubhi,
I'm not sure if this is causing the problem, but several of the parameters you listed in your namelist are slightly incorrect. This is your current section:

&diag
p_lev_diag = 1
num_press_level = 3,
press_levels = 85000, 70000, 50000,
/

but it should be:

&diags
p_lev_diags = 1
num_press_levels = 3,
press_levels = 85000, 70000, 50000,
/

(You are missing the 's' at the end of several words). See if making those modifications helps anything.
