geogrid.exe ERROR

[emmanoid]

Hello! I am new to the WRF model and has followed the online tutorial. However, on the part where I run geogrid.exe, I encountered this problem:

Code: Select all

Parsed 20 entries in GEOGRID.TBL
Processing domain 1 of 2
ERROR: Could not open /home/eman/Desktop/WRF/geog/orogwd_10m/con/index

I downloaded the low resolution geographical data (http://www.mmm.ucar.edu/wrf/OnLineTutor ... r_data.htm). Based on the error message, geogrid can't find the said file. It turned out that the whole orogwd_10m directory is missing on the downloaded data. Is there any way that I can download orogwd_10m and its contents?

Solved this issue. Sorry to bother. :p

Could not open : /home/sai/WRF/WPS/geo_data/orogwd_10m/con/index

I have attached the geogrid log file. Please help me out.

Hi!

I'm trying to run geogrid.exe, but I encountered an error as follow:

Parsed 25 entries in GEOGRID.TBL
Processing domain 1 of 1
ERROR: Could not open work/WRF/WPS/DATA/topo_10m/index
I wonder if help me in fixing the current error. In addition, I tried to find the bugs tar file in the following link:
ttp://www2.mmm.ucar.edu/wrf/OnLineTutor ... e_bugs.php

But I don't know how can we access to it.

Regards,

[savan]

Solved this issue. Sorry to bother. :p

Can you tell how did you solve that problem?

You have to go to the geogrid files download URL and manually download the files which doesn't exist after downloading the mandatory low resolution files.
Go to the following url and click on topo 10m and extract to the location containing the other static geogrid files
http://www2.mmm.ucar.edu/wrf/users/down ... _geog.html

Solved this issue. Sorry to bother. :p

Could you explain how you solved the the problem

[ronronronron]

what happened? please help

[dinesjnu]

You need to download 10-m resolution static data from WRF-site and extract it in top directory of GEOG_WPS.
