Dear Users,
Please can anyone help me figure out what is wrong?, I successfully installed the WRF 3.5.1. When I run the test case em_squall2d_x following the instructions given on the online tutorial page I get the success message
wrf: SUCCESS COMPLETE IDEAL INIT. Likewise when I run the wrf.exe , I do not get any error message but I am surprised my output file contains constant fields or zeros. In fact, I have compared the "wrfinput_d01" input file generated by ideal.exe with wrfout_do1* output file but apparently there is no difference between them as if the model did not integrate the input data. Particularly, I tried to plot the fields QRAIN, QVAPOR, QCLOUD, Vertical Velocity and Vel tangent using NCL but I am unable to get the expected plots (See expected plots at: http://www.mmm.ucar.edu/wrf/OnLineTutor ... l_2d_x.htm) . I did not modify my namelist.input file after installation and I am wondering if I am supposed to make any modification. If I am supposed to, which are the modifications I have to make?
This is the content of my namelist file.

Please find my configure.wrf file attached and the output sample. Can anyone who has successfully run this test case give me a copy of his/her configuration files (namelist.input and input_sounding)?
Thanks while looking forward to a response.
Regards,
