WRF-Chem 3.9.1 Restart Issue at 06 and 18 UTC

Hello everyone,

I am running WRF-Chem v3.9.1, and my model runs successfully for my selected periods. However, when I try to restart the model using wrfrst_d0... files, I encounter an issue.
  • If the restart time is 00 UTC or 12 UTC, the model reads the wrfrst files correctly and produces output.
  • But when I attempt to restart at 06 UTC or 18 UTC, the run fails with the error shown below.
