<p class=MsoNormal>Hi all. . .<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>So, after searching online, I’ve seen that other
people have had this problem, but I haven’t seen a solution. Maybe
somebody here can help.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’m using UPP to postprocess the wrfout’s
(translate to GRIB), and for the most part it’s fine. The one issue
I’m having is that PRATE (precipitation rate) in the grib files is always
zero, everywhere. This is just a UPP/postprocessing issue – we’re
getting plenty of precipitation.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>When unipost.exe is running, I do get occasional error
messages, which I suppose might have to do with fields that are not being
output in the wrfout’s. I don’t know if I’m missing
some field that’s required for PRATE, or even what fields are required for
PRATE. The unipost code is not super easy to decipher.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I believe I can probably get around to the answer I want by differencing
the accumulated precipitation fields, but it would take some extra effort which
I’d just as soon avoid if possible.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Any thoughts? Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Mike<o:p></o:p></p>
