wrf.exe doesn't write

I've been having trouble trying to run wrf.exe. The simulation starts running and after a few minutes it stops to write, it doesn't show any error messages and only writes the first hour for both domains. It only stops when it times out or if I cancel it. Please, can someone help me with this problem?
I attach the files

Hi,

1) What type of input data are you using? What is its resolution?
2) Can you package all of the rsl.error* files into a single *.tar file and attach that?
 
Good morning,
Thanks for the reply.

I used the Static Geography Data from this page: Static Data Downloads, the digital elevation map prepared from LIDAR data, collected from the National Geographic Institute with a final resolution of 25m, fuel data prepared from different sources of forest information, models described by Anderson and used in the BEHAVE system with a resolution of 25 m and ECMWF initial and boundary conditions dataset with 9km of resolution

I attach all the files.

Thanks for sharing those. I have a few questions and things for you to test.

1) What happens if you set the time_step to 15, instead of 18?
2) What happens if you only run a single domain?
3) I notice this seems to be a wrf-chem simulation. If you were to run basic wrf (with no chemistry), does the same issue occur?
 
Good morning, thank you for helping me.

1. When I set the time_step to 15, I got the same problem. I am attaching the rsl.error.0000 and the namelist
2. If I only run a single domain, it works fine.
3. No, I did not run wrf-chem. The installation is wrf-chem but I did not use any parameters for chem.

Hi,
Apologies for the very long delay. This got buried in my emails and then I was out of the office for a couple of weeks for the holidays. Has anything changed with the status of this, or do you still need my help? Thank you for your patience.
 
Hi,
Can you let me know what type of meteorological input data you're using, and what is the resolution of that input (for e.g., GFS analysis is often 0.25 degree data)? Thanks!
 
Thanks, and apologies for the delay in response while our team was tending to other obligations. Your parent domain is only using a 3km grid-spacing, which means, since your input data are 27 km, that's a 9:1 ratio, which is likely too large of a ratio. We recommend using ratios no larger than 5:1. Can you try adding an additional parent around the one you are using now - with 9 km grid-spacing - to see if that helps resolve the issue you're experiencing?
