Error while reading namelist chem

[mvwxfxm]

I am working with the WRFChem V3.2 and comparing the output data with recorded observations. I have successfuly ran the WRF using one domain, but I get this error in the real.exe when I try a new Domain:

Iv tried looking over the formant and I don't see anything wrong. Anyone have a idea what is wrong?

Hello,

I have the same problem when trying to run real.exe, even for a single domain with no chemistry ( max_dom = 1, chem_opt = 0).

The error disappeared when I deleted the following line:

frames_per_emissfile = 36,

It seems that for the number of timesteps in emission files there are only two options:
1) 12-h emission files ( io_style_emissions = 1,)
2) several files - one for every hour ( io_style_emissions = 2,)

I would like to make a single 72-h emission file for a tracer (chem_opt = 14), but it looks like this is not allowed and I have to split it into 6 files x 12h. Right?

Hi
I've had exactly the same problem as in the first post. I have compiled WRF CHEM 3.3.1 and am able to run real.exe and wrf.exe successfully. However, when I attempt to increase the number of domains from one to two I get the following message.

If anyone has managed to solve this problem I'd really appreciate some advice.

Hi,

I found that for some reason, WRF-Chem demands you include all those namelist that were mentioned in the error message. As a default treatment, I now include the namelist listed below at the bottom of the namelist.input. For your case, you need to set the namelists: tc, dfi_control, scm, and fire.... It is okay to leave scm, fire, and tc as empty namelist.

&dfi_control
dfi_opt = 0,
dfi_nfilter = 0,
dfi_write_filtered_input = .false.,
dfi_write_dfi_history = .false.,

Hi every body,
I faced the simillar problem :

Error while reading namelist chem
-------------- FATAL CALLED ---------------
Errors while reading one or more namelists from namelist.input.

wrf_abort


could any body solve this?

please give me a guide.
cheers.

if you want to use the first day' emissions only but not the later days,how would you do ?Thanks for your help!
