[Wrf-users] sst_update problem

Dear WRF Users,

I'm having a problem to run wrf.exe with SST_update=1 and your help and 
suggestions will be greatly appreciated. The SST data I'm using is the 
RTG_SST 0.500 degree ( http://polar.ncep.noaa.gov/sst/). For boundary 
conditions I'm using the NCEP FNL GFS data. I have 3 nested grids with 
108, 36 and 12 km resolutions, running the model from 00:00 hrs of Jan. 
01, 2010 to the 00:00 hrs of Jan. 15, 2010.

The steps followed to get to running wrf.exe are the following:

-Ran successfully geogri.exe

-Ran successfully ungrib.exe for the RTG_SST files.

-Ran successfully ungrib.exe for the FNL GFS files.

-Ran successfully metgrib.exe

-Ran successfully real.exe, creating wrfbdy_d01, wrfinput_d01, 
wrfinput_d02, wrfinput_d03, and wrflowinp_d01, wrflowinp_d02, wrflowinp_d03.

When I ran wrf.exe, I get the following error:

Time in file: 2010-01-15_00:00:00

Time on domain: 2010-01-01_06:07:12

**WARNING** Time in input file not equal to time on domain **WARNING**

**WARNING** Trying next time in file wrflowinp_d01 ...

... Could not find matching time in input file wrflowinp_d01

-------------------------------------------

[cli_0]: aborting job:

application called MPI_Abort(MPI_COMM_WORLD, 1) - process 0

Assuming that it could be an error of the time stamp on the input files, 
I have checked the time stamp on the metgrid files and wrfbdy_d01, 
wrflowinp_d0* (1 to 3), obtaining the following:

-Metgrib files: 2010-01-01_00:00:00to2010-01-15_00:00:00for nests 01, 02 
& 03, every 6 hrs.

-wrfbdy_d01: 2010-01-01_00:00:00to2010-01-14_18:00:00 , every 6 hrs.

-wrflowinp_d0* (1 to 3): 2010-01-01_00:00:00to2010-01-15_00:00:00for 
nests 01, 02 & 03, every 6 hrs.

I tried to change the end date in the namelist.input file to 
2010-01-14_00:00:00 to run wrf.exe with the same wrfbdy_d01 and 
wrflowinp_d0*, but I obtained a similar error.

Am I missing something on the namelist.wps or namelist.input files 
(attached)?

I have search on the web, WRF user's forum, and the manual but I haven't 
been able to find any solutions.

I also have a couple of questions about the input of SST data:

-I have only been able to run real.exe when I start the model at 
00:00:00 hrs only, if I changed the start or end time to let say 
06:00:00 hrs, I get an error. Do you know why that happens? Is that a 
requirement to use SST data as input?

-For having a successful ungrib.exe run with SST data is it necessary 1 
extra day of SST data as input, i.e. if your end date is 
2010-01-15_00:00:00, you need the SST data until Jan. 16, 2010 to have a 
successful run. This is just out of my curiosity to try to understand 
better how WPS and WRF work in general.

Finally, when I remove the SST_update = 1, wrf.exe runs without any 
problems.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
