wrfbdy and wrfinput not created when running real.exe

[acchummac]

To the WRF community, Hello!

I am new and learning to run the WRF model. I am doing a practice simulation in a case study initialized using ERA5. I have encountered a problem when running the real.exe because it did not create a wrfinput including the wrfbdy. I don't know if it has something to do with the ERA5 met data or the way I pre-processed it. I tried to re-run the WPS and tried using 2 different Vtable, i.e., Vtable.ECMWF and Vtable.ERA-inerim.pl, but both did not work. I also wonder if it has something to do with the terrestrial data, because I am using the lowest resolution of the mandatory dataset, or maybe a parameter setting on the namelist.input. I am attaching the namelist.input I use to run real.exe and their corresponding errors.

Hi,
Apologies for the long delay in response while our team tended to time-sensitive obligations. Thank you for your patience. First, make sure you are following the correct steps for using ERA5 input. If you're doing everything correctly (including using the invariant file), then it's possible it could be related to using the lowest resolution static fields. I'd advise trying with the highest-resolution static fields. You may also find help by searching this forum for the error message you're seeing in your rsl.error.0000 file (grid%tsk unreasonable), as I know others have run into this error, as well.

Thank you very much for the response. I was able to run the real.exe and generate the necessary input files for running wrf.exe. What I did was change the land use and land cover data of the lowest static geographic data. I used the USGS land use and land cover datasets.

Great! Thank you so much for the update and solution that worked for you.
