Hi all,
I was trying to run a nested case using WRFV2. My domain dx
.dy was 45000 and 15000 for outer and nest domain. when i was running
the wrf.exe ,bychance i put dx,dy 1500 instead of 15000 FOR nest
domain and parent grid ratio was 3:1 , but actualy it becomes 30:1,
Model was running succesfully without any segmentation fault. But when
i ploted the outer grid ,everything was ok ,All the variables i got,
but when i checked the nested domain at first time steps ,it was
giving NAN values. This is just for the information only.
regards
anil kumar rohilla
