UPP Unknown model output format

[Mingling]

I use old eta vertical coordinate with WRFV4.1 and UPPv4.1, but it can't read the format of wrfout.

UNKNOWN MODEL OUTPUT FORMAT, STOPPING

 

[Mingling]

This time I use wrfout from WRFV3.9, but it still say “UNKNOWN MODEL OUTPUT FORMAT, STOPPING”. How can I process wrfout output from newer version of WRF?

Can you send a copy of your itag, it seems something is wrong with how you have parameters set in it. How are you running UPP? Are you using the run_unipost script? According to the log you posted, UPP is not reading these in correctly. Here is an example of the parameters in the itag:

fileName='/glade/work/hertneky/upp/testing/data/ipc/wrfout_d02_2022-08-01_12:00:00_sav2'
IOFORM='netcdf'
grib='grib2'
DateStr='2022-08-01_12:00:00'
MODELNAME='NCAR'
fileNameFlat='postxconfig-NT.txt'

The itag is basically the UPP namelist. If you use the run_unipost script in the UPP/scripts directory, it should create it for you, based on you user definitions at the beginning of the script.

 

[Mingling]

Ok, here is the itag created by the upp itself after I "./run_unipost":

/public1/home3/sch8118/output/wrfprd/wrfout_d02_2012-10-28_12:00:00

netcdf

grib2

2012-10-28_12:00:00

NCAR


And I also attached the postxconfig-NT.txt, run_unipost in the zip. Should I create an itag for it before I "./run_unipost"?

 

[Mingling]

I wondered if it is that I compiled wrf with netcdf4 option. This time I set WRFIO_NCD_NO_LARGE_FILE_SUPPORT=1, but it still does not work.

 

[Mingling]

I redownload the package from this webside: UPP User Release Version 4.1.0 | dtcenter.org. And it works now.

 

[hertneky]

I am glad you got it working.
