Hey Bart,

 I think I see a problem in your namelist.  Your run time is only 5 minutes, but your start and end date cover a time period of 3 hours.  I'd try changing this first to match your desired run time.

Subject: [Wrf-users] Error opening restart file for ARSC WRF Benchmark Suite

Dear All,

I 'm encountering a problem running the 9km case of the http://weather.arsc.edu/BenchmarkSuite/ WRF benchmark suit. I modified some of the variables in namelist.input to get wrf.exe to start up, but it exits quickly with an error opening the restart file:


-------------- FATAL CALLED ---------------
 FATAL CALLED FROM FILE:  <stdin>  LINE:     211
 program wrf: error opening   wrfrst_d01_2009-12-20_00:00:00 for reading
 -------------------------------------------

The restart file is present and accessible on the file system. This happens both with and without MPI and for WRF versions 3.1.1 and 3.3.1. My namelist.input file is included below. Any guidance on how to get past this would be most appreciated.

Thanks!
Bart
