Hi all,

This might be a silly question but is there a way I can have my wrfout files from a restart run end on a 00 time? I'm running LES so my timesteps are very small. For instance, in my original run to setup a convective boundary layer I have restart files written every 15 minutes

>> wrfrst_d01_0001-01-01_04:00:00


With my namelist as the following
history_interval_s = 1,
frames_per_outfile = 60,

But for Restart runs i end up with files that say
>> wrfout_d01_0001-01-01_04:00:01

Which really isn't a big deal but just for my minds sake is there a way to have this output on on the 00 time?


Thanks,Jesse.
 
Please try the option (in &time_control):

adjust_output_times = .true.,

This option will force wrfout to be written at the nearest hour.
