<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Hi everyone!<br><br>I&#39;ve been trying to run WRF-Chem with chem_opt = 11 
(RADM2_MADE/SORGAM) on a cluster and while the wrfout file was produced,
 the wrfrst file was not produced. <br><br>The rsl files do include the line: <span style="font-weight:bold">&quot;med_restart_out: opening wrfrst_d01_2013-06-15_01:00:00 for writing&quot;</span>
 but unfortunately the restart file does not get written. I&#39;ve checked 
some other posts where the same issue was raised. Here is the error I&#39;ve
 been getting in the rsl file after debugging:<br><br><dl class=""><dt><br><a href="http://forum.wrfforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=9018#"></a></dt><dd><code>d01 2013-06-15_00:15:00  output_wrf: end, fid =            5<br>d01 2013-06-15_00:15:00 back from outsub in open_w_dataset<br>d01 2013-06-15_00:15:00 calling wrf_open_for_write_commit in open_w_dataset<br>d01 2013-06-15_00:15:00 module_io.F: in wrf_open_for_write_commit<br>d01 2013-06-15_00:15:00  NetCDF error: NetCDF: One or more variable sizes violate format constraints<br>d01 2013-06-15_00:15:00  NetCDF error in ext_ncd_open_for_write_commit wrf_io.F90, line        1442<br>d01 2013-06-15_00:15:00 back from wrf_open_for_write_commit in open_w_dataset<br>med_restart_out: opening wrfrst_d01_2013-06-15_00:15:00 for writing<br></code></dd></dl><br><br><br>I&#39;ve tried the following to solve the problem:<br><br>1. Ensure that the file external/io_netcdf/wrf_io.F90 contained the following line <span style="font-weight:bold">stat = NF_CREATE(FileName, IOR(NF_CLOBBER,NF_64BIT_OFFSET), DH%NCID)</span> <br><br>2. Use io_form_restart = 102 to ensure that the &#39;divided&#39; restart files would be less than 2GB<br><br>3. Use a version of netcdf that supports 64bit<br><br>Unfortunately
