Hi andresr,
Your best option is probably to work through these tutorials, though there is not reference answers to compare with.

Hello Jordan, thank you for your reply.
Yes, I did try those tutorials but they are not complete
I tried to make my own namelist.wps but I do not know if I did it ok or not. I could run geogrid but while running metgrid I received errors. Since then I have been looking for a complete set of example files (you know, from defining the domain, the namelist, how to diagnose errors, obtain images) but I have had no luck
I believe it would be nice to have something like that so us, new users, could know if their new installations are ok or have problems (and learn to use the wrf-chem only options and as reference for its uses). I know most of people here are from developed countries that have more people with experience to turn to, but when you are one of two or three users in an university of not developed country, with no prior experience, just making the model run is a big enough challenge )FrieCookies

Hello Andres,
I'm also starting to work with WRF-CHEM and have found the tutorials slightly incomplete and had issues with geogrid/metgrid steps on tutorial 1. I believe they were built for WRF 3.9 and the static geographic data has changed in 4.1. I'm currently in the process of testing this, but, I believe the solution is relatively simple. You may just need to download the static geographic dataset associated with WRF version 3 which can be found here: https://www2.mmm.ucar.edu/wrf/users/download/get_sources_wps_geog_V3.html.
Good luck!
