Strange values of SWDOWN,TSK.

[neel14]

Hi,I am getting higher SWDOWN, TSK, LH,HFX during the night and lesser values (even 0) during daytime. I have attached an excel file containing time series data of these variables for ref. I am using 4.1.3.
Kindly help!

Hi,
Can you also attach the namelist.wps and namelist.input files you're using? Thanks!

In your Excel spreadsheet, the first column in time. Is that the time from the wrfout* files (UTC), or is it local time?

It is from the "Times" variable of the wrfout. I guess I need to convert to local time?

I thought the time I am providing to wrf was local time. I need to do a lag of +5.5 hours to get the data at the correct timestamps.

Right. I assume if you look at the local times, the values are likely reasonable.

Great. Thanks!
