Hi,
I am trying to minimize my WRF output to include only rainfall or rainfall related variables using the run-time I/O option.
What I did:
I created the following I/O filtering files:
rain_only_d01.txt (same for d02):
---
-:h:0:LU_INDEX,ZNU,ZNW,ZS,DZS,VAR_SSO,U,...
+:h:7:XLAT,XLONG,XTIME,RAINC,RAINNC,RAINSH
---
And added in namelist.input:
---
&time_control
run_days = 2,
run_hours = 0,
run_minutes = 0,
start_year = 2022, 2022,
start_month = 05, 05,
start_day = 14, 14,
start_hour = 00, 00,
start_minute = 00, 00,
start_second = 00, 00,
end_year = 2022, 2022,
end_month = 05, 05,
end_day = 16, 16,
end_hour = 00, 00,
end_minute = 00, 00,
end_second = 00, 00,
interval_seconds = 21600,
input_from_file = .true., .true.,
history_interval = 60, 60,
frames_per_outfile = 24, 24,
restart = .false.,
!restart_interval = 1440,
restart_interval = 16000,
write_hist_at_0h_rst = .false.,
output_ready_flag = .false.,
io_form_history = 2,
io_form_restart = 2,
io_form_input = 2,
io_form_boundary = 2,
debug_level = 0,
auxinput4_inname = "wrflowinp_d<domain>",
auxinput4_interval = 360, 360,
io_form_auxinput4 = 2,
!!!!!!!!!!!!!! new suggestion for seperate rainfall out
iofields_filename = "rain_only_d01.txt","rain_only_d02.txt",
ignore_iofields_warning = .true.,
auxhist7_outname = "rain_d<domain>_<date>",
auxhist7_interval = 60, 60,
frames_per_auxhist7 = 24, 24,
io_form_auxhist7 = 2,
/

What I expected:
Only the selected variables (rainfall + coordinates) in the output (wrfout*).
What I actually get:
Even after filtering, several additional variables still appear in the "wrfout*" file, such as:
---
ITIMESTEP, THIS_IS_AN_IDEAL_RUN, BATHYMETRY_FLAG, O3_GFS_DU,
IVGTYP, ISLTYP, CH, CROPCAT, ISEEDARRAY_SPP_LSM, etc.
---
But rain_d0* files have all the variables that is mentioned via rain_only_d0*.txt files.
I got successful run when testing for 2 day simulations. (attaching my namelist.input and rain_only_d01.txt)
My query is:
Since i am removing lots of fields, is it save or correct way?
If i am doing wrong, then please suggest me the best way to handle default WRF output fields.
Thank you in advance!
