Run wrf.exe Segmentation fault

[wwpxju]

I have a "Segmentation fault" problem when running a WRF model; how can I solve this problem? This problem has been bothering me for days.
1. First of all, I have enough disk memory.

Please help me to see how I can solve this problem.

I have solved this problem, after the "Segmentation fault" problem, I have reduced the "time_step" of namelist.input and it is running successfully.

Thanks for the update.

Thanks for the update.

Dear Ming Chen, I have a question similar to this one.

I had the same problem as described in the post. I also lowered the time step and the simulation was completed. However, looking at the rsl files, I've noticed several CFL errors.

The begining of the rsl:

Max map factor in domain 1 =  1.02. Scale the dt in the model accordingly.
 D01: Time step                              =    27.0000000      (s)
 D01: Grid Distance                          =    9.00000000      (km)
 D01: Grid Distance Ratio dt/dx              =    3.00000000      (s/km)
 D01: Ratio Including Maximum Map Factor     =    3.06247997      (s/km)
 D01: NML defined reasonable_time_step_ratio =    6.00000000

Wthat this message "D01: NML defined reasonable_time_step_ratio = 6.00000000": indicates me?
I should lower even more my timestep?

Thanks in advance
