[Wrf-users] ndown crashes during Katrina case 1-way nesting

Tue Dec 17 12:44:31 MST 2013

Dear all,

I have just installed WRF 3.4 and compiled it for intel compilers, serial computing with basic nesting. In order to become familiar with it, I 
tried to run Online tutorial cases. All the cases went Ok and outputs 
were created successfully. But for 1-way nesting run with ndown.exe . It crashes when I execute ndown.exe based on online case steps and also 
crashes when I redid the steps based on user manual chapter 5. I guessed may be some of you have encountered the same and know how I should 
solve this one. Here is the last lines, I can provide further 
information if required. thank you in advance. 
(I should add that I searched the forum, other users had this problem too. but none got a proper answer but for 1 reply that told about chapter 5 of user manual that it couldn't solve my problem)
