  <p><font size="2">I'm still reviewing the NetCDF documentation, but
so far it seems the calling program (WRF) is supposed to pass a flag to
NetCDF to turn 64-bit offset on.&nbsp; So it's also a WRF issue.<br>

This is a netCDF issue, not a WRF issue.&nbsp; Look at the netCDF<br>
documentation for notes on large file support, or possibly update your<br>
version of netCDF.<br>

&gt; Dear WRF Community:<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; I'm unable to produce WRF NetCDF files larger than 2 Gb in size.&nbsp;
(I'm<br>
&gt; experimenting with very large domains for hurricane and climate
simulations.<br>
&gt; Also, I'm using 64bit executables on a 64bit OS.)&nbsp; When I run
real.exe with<br>
&gt; debugging turned on, I see a "One or more variable sizes violate
format<br>
&gt; constraints" message from NetCDF.&nbsp; The on-line NetCDF
documentation suggests<br>
&gt; using a "64 bit offset" mode when first creating the file.&nbsp; Is
there a reason<br>
&gt; WRF doesn't do this?&nbsp; Is this a bug, or is there a compile time or
runtime<br>
&gt; option for turning this on?<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Thanks,<br>
