Dear Help,
I am trying to run WRFV4, I am getting strange error.
I have created met_em file using WPSv4 and i am able to run real.exe without any error its running and creating input files. But I am getting error from wrf.exe
Error Message:
" d01 2008-07-27_00:00:00 Error trying to read metadata
d01 2008-07-27_00:00:00 You can try 1) ensure that the input file was created with WRF v4 pre-processors, or d01 2008-07-27_00:00:00 2) use force_use_old_data=T in the time_control record of the namelist.input file
-------------- FATAL CALLED ---------------"

Then I have tried to run wrf.exe with mentioning in &time_control "force_use_old_data=T "
Then I am getting the following error. I am able to run without SST update there is no error.
Kindly help me to sortout this error

Hi,
So I assume that you are using some SST input when running WPS? And all of the met_em* files that contain that input is created with WPSV4.0?
Can you send the following files?
1) namelist.input
2) rsl.error.0000 (or equivalent error log for running wrf)
3) issue these commands:
ncdump -h met_em.d01.yyyy-mm-dd_hh.mm.ss.nc >& met_ncdump.txt
ncdump -h wrfinput_d01 >& wrfinput_ncdump.txt
ncdump -h wrflowinp_d01 >& wrflowinp_ncdump.txt
and send those 3 text files.

Thanks!
Kelly
 
Have you got grid_sfdda set on?

If so I believe I had a similar issue to you which has been posted and acknowledged on the github page.

https://github.com/wrf-model/WRF/issues/744
 
This is a bug introduced into WRFV4.0. We are looking at this issue but it may take some time. Please avoid turning on the grid_sfdda option at present.
