wrong domain when use lat-lon projection

[Nefeli]

Hello!

I am trying to run WRF with lat lon projection but my domain is not what I am expecting. I want my domain to covert most of north Atlantic i.e.

minLat=34.797 maxLat=64.869
minLon=-34.557 maxLat=24.903

What I get is:

minLat=37.2705 maxLat=64.7295
minLon=-17.7295 maxLat=9.72951

See bellow for my namelist.wps:

&share
wrf_core = 'ARW',
max_dom = 1,
start_date = '2013-12-31_00:00:00','2013-12-31_00:00:00','2013-12-31_00:00:00','2013-12-31_00:00:00',
end_date = '2014-01-02_00:00:00','2014-01-02_00:00:00','2014-01-02_00:00:00','2014-01-02_00:00:00',
interval_seconds = 21600
io_form_geogrid = 2,
/

&geogrid
parent_id = 1, 1, 2, 3,
parent_grid_ratio = 1, 3, 3, 3,
i_parent_start = 1, 26, 48, 90,
j_parent_start = 1, 26, 48, 90,
e_we = 115, 190, 283, 301,
e_sn = 115, 190, 283, 301,
geog_data_res = '10m','5m','5m','5m,'
dx=0.243000243
dy=0.243000243
map_proj = 'lat-lon',
pole_lat=90
pole_lon=180
ref_lat = 51.0,
ref_lon = -4.0,
truelat1 = 30.0,
truelat2 = 60.0,
stand_lon = 0.0,
geog_data_path = '/software/environmental/wps-data/3.x/geog',
/

&ungrib
out_format = 'WPS',
prefix = 'FILE',
/

&metgrid
fg_name = 'FILE'
io_form_metgrid = 2,
constants_name = 'LSM:1989-01-01_12','Z:1989-01-01_12'
/


Thank you in advance for any help!

Kind regards,

Nefeli

This topic has been moved to the 'domain set-up' category, as that is a more appropriate place for it. Someone should respond to this soon.

Hi again!

Just an update,

I've changed in the above namelist the e_we and e_sn to be both equal to 230 and the dx,dy=0.25. My problem now is that it runs but gives only the initial conditions (the first time) but then it stops. The error files don't help me to understand why.

Please see bellow the new namelist and the 2 first error files:

Hi,
I would like to first apologize for the very long delay in response to this question. It seems as though it must have been overlooked, or the person responsible for this particular section of the forum didn't have their subscription set correctly (to receive notifications). Thank you very much for your patience. Since it has been so long, I'd first like to ask if you have been able to get past the problem, and to get the model running.

Thanks!
