WRFOUT Files not created

[chmarshall14]

I am running a vortex-following simulation of Katrina. The computing cluster I am using says that the job is completed successfully, and the rsl.out.0000 says:

Timing for main: time 2005-08-28_11:58:00 on domain 1: 29.70368 elapsed seconds

wrf: SUCCESS COMPLETE WRF

However, I cannot find any wrfout files. Could they have been written under a different name or in a folder other than the one from which I ran wrf.exe? Thank you for any help!

Hi,
Can you attach the namelist.input file that you are using to run this? Thanks!

Hi,
In your namelist, you have this line set:

history_outname = '/scratch/cm5515/wrf-4.0/WRF/main/hist_d<domain>',

so that path is where your files should be writing out. Did you check there?

 

[chmarshall14]

Hi,

Yes, there is a “hist_d01” file there but no file called “wrfout”. The history outfile seems totally normal.

Thanks!

 

[kwerner]

Hi,
In that line from your namelist, you are asking the files to be called "hist_d<domain>." So there won't be any called wrfout*.
