Hello, I am a sys admin for my university's HPC and I have been tasked with installing WRF and WRF-Chem on our machine.
Needless to say I am not familiar with using the software/model to do actual work, just the installation procedure.
I have successfully compiled both and I have moved on to trying the test cases included with WRF under the test directory.
Although those tests work just fine for WRF when used with WRF-Chem I get the following error:
So this leads me to my three questions:
1. Do the test cases included with WRF apply for WRF-Chem or is there some sort of processing that needs to happen in order to use them with WRF-Chem?
2. Do I need two different installation, one for WRF and the other with WRF-Chem enabled?
3. If the answer to 2 above is Yes then do I need a second installation of WRF-Chem that has the KPP enabled or can that be enabled by the user on demad?
