[Wrf-users] Running gen_be

[M K Biswas]

Dear WRF Users,

I am running the ben_ge utility provided in the WRFVAR package. The 
gen_be is running fine i.e. its not showing any errors in the log files. 
But it is unusually taking a long time to run (it almost 3 days with 32 
processors). I have a big domain almost 900x900 grids. And the last log 
which I am getting for a long time is the gen_be_stage4_regional.log. At 
present it is showing like this

---------------------------------------------------------------
Run Stage 4: Calculate horizontal covariances (regional lengthscales).

And the index is incrementing after a long time. I am little bit worried 
that everything is going okay or not. I am attaching the file list (ls 
-rtl) for your expert advise on this. How long this 'index ' thing will go?

I will really appreciate as always your kind help and advise.

Thanks and regards
Mrinal
