Hellow,sir. My three-level nested simulation has enabled vortex-following, but when I extract the position of the lowest SLP in d03, it always appears at the same coordinates. This likely indicates that d03 is not moving. However, the rsl.out file contains ATCF information, and the wind speed and cloud maps for d03 at different times fully display the typhoon, even though the horizontal and vertical coordinates remain unchanged. Why is this happening? Do I need to recompile?

Do the rsl files show that d03 is moving? Can you use ncview to view the wrf output? You can use the "play" button to watch it in motion. If both of those show it moving, the issue would have to be with your extraction method. If you don't see any evidience of the domain moving in either the rsl files or with ncview, can you attach your namelist.input file, as well as the rsl files (if there are multiple, package them together in a single *.tar file and attach that). Thanks!
Hello, kwerner. I used ncview to check the data and found that d03 (the nested domain) seems to be moving along with the vortex, as I can clearly see the change in the terrain boundary. However, when I use NCL to plot the output from wrfout_d03, the longitude and latitude on the x and y axes do not change. I also noticed that using wrf_map_overlays, the longitude, latitude, and terrain remain unchanged. In my view, this seems to confirm that the initial position of d03 hasn't changed. Have you encountered such an issue before?
