[Wrf-users] Hints with ARWpost

[Jose Augusto Paixão Veiga]

Dear wrf users,

I need some hints about the correct use of ARWpost to produce correct
output time numbers from a simulation.

After a 42 hours of simulation (1200 29/SEP/2013 to 0600 01/OCT/2015), with
4 domains, I get from model output two files:
wrfout_d04_2013-09-29_12:00:00 and wrfout_d04_2013-09-30_12:00:00. The
number of times for the first file is 19 (CDO calls this the number of time
steps)  and 24 is the number of times for the last file. The sum between
both is 43, exactly as I need. However, when I run ARWpost.exe the
following message rises:


!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  ARWpost v3.1
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FOUND the following input files:
 /DK/dk20/veiga/WRF-OUTPUT/ELIZABETH/CASO-30SET2013/GRELL-DEVENYI/wrfout_d04_2013-09-29_12:00:00
 /DK/dk20/veiga/WRF-OUTPUT/ELIZABETH/CASO-30SET2013/GRELL-DEVENYI/wrfout_d04_2013-09-30_12:00:00

START PROCESSING DATA
   Interpolating to PRESSURE levels


 Processing  time --- 2013-09-29_12:00:00
   Found the right date - continue

 Processing  time --- 2013-09-29_13:00:00
   Found  2013-09-30_11:00:05  before  2013-09-29_13:00:00

DONE Processing Data

CREATING .ctl file

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!  Successful completion of ARWpost  !
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Meaning that just 1 time was built in ctl. But I need 43 times. What should
be happening?  The namelist.ARWpost file I am using is in the end of this
email.

I'll really appreciate some helps on this.

Thanks in advance.

OBS: As I want 1/1hr of model output I set the history_interval = 60
and frames_per_outfile  = 24.
