[Wrf-users] How to record the output of a simulation in just one single file ?

[Bart Brashers]

In namelist.input, the value of frames_per_outfile (in the &time_control section) controls how many time-stamps get written to each wrfout file.  Looks like you have it set to 1, assuming history_interval = 60 (minutes).

Setting frames_per_outfile = 240 would cause 240 hours (10 days) to be written to each wrfout file.  Adjust according to your needs.

This is going to create some cumbersomely large files, though.  Considering use NCO’s ncrcat to concatenate the wrfout files after the WRF run, or use ncks to extract only the fields you need to another netCDF file.

Subject: [Wrf-users] How to record the output of a simulation in just one single file ?

Dear all,

I need to record my simulation's output in a just single file. However, when I run the model the output are divided or distributed into several files, for example:

wrfout:d01_2011-11-01_00:00:00
wrfout:d01_2011-11-02_00:00:00
wrfout:d01_2011-11-03_00:00:00
and so on until 2011-11-31.

What should I do ? Probably, I need to change the namelist.input file, but I don't know exactly what. So, hints will be very appreciated.
