[Wrf-users] Re : problem running real with GFS fnl* data for 2005

[Maria Eugenia]

Hi everyone,

I guess the problem is in the computer, it's overloaded. It has been
running real.exe for 24h and it's not done yet.  Meanwhile I set up
the same simulation in a different machine, real.exe ran in less than
5 min and wrf.exe is working fine.

Regarding the error messages, I believe real.exe is complaining about
variables I don't have in the dataset. I mean, none of these variables
appear in my Vtable (default Vtable.GFS). Therefore I believe they are
either not in the dataset, or they are not necessary for the
simulation.

I'm describing the errors I found in my rsl.out file in case my
assumption is wrong, and somebody knows how to fix this.

I have a list of (1) "variable not found" and a list of (2) "attribute
not found", as shown below.

 d01 2005-10-07_18:00:00  NetCDF error: NetCDF: Variable not found
 d01 2005-10-07_18:00:00  NetCDF error in wrf_io.F90, line        2712
 Varname TAVGSFC

 d01 2005-10-07_18:00:00  NetCDF error: NetCDF: Attribute not found
 d01 2005-10-07_18:00:00  NetCDF error in ext_ncd_get_dom_ti.code
INTEGER, line          83  Element FLAG_TSK

For (1) the variables names are:

 TAVGSFC
 QV
 SPECHUMD
 ICEFRAC
 MU0
 T2
 SOIL_LEVELS
 SW
 SOILT
 SOILM
 SM000007

And for (2) the elements names are:

P_TOP
GMT
JULYR
JULDAY
FLAG_TSK
FLAG_TAVGSFC
FLAG_QV
FLAG_QC
FLAG_QR
FLAG_QI
FLAG_QS
FLAG_QG
FLAG_QNI
FLAG_SH
FLAG_P_INTERP
FLAG_SST
FLAG_SNOWH
FLAG_TOPOSOIL
FLAG_ICEDEPTH
FLAG_ICEFRAC
FLAG_SOIL_LEVELS

My netcdf version is 3.6.3, and I use gcc/gfortran 4.2.4. Please let
me know if these errors will compromise the results of my simulation.

Thanks ever
