I'm trying to run WRF with High Resolution Rapid Refresh (HRRR) data. HRRR forecast is available every hour for next 18 hours.
When I run WPS with 00Z forecast, I'm able to run WPS and WRF successfully. However, if I do the same with, say, 12Z forecast, wps fails. In particular, while ungrib.exe reads in all GRIBFILE.xxx files, it creates intermediate files for hours only on the start_date. Thus, say, for HRRR input of 2017/05/17 at 12z, I only get intermediate files till 23z of 2017/05/17, even though namelist.wps specifies correct start and end date. The namelist.wps file is pasted below:
- Code: Select all
&share
wrf_core = 'ARW',
max_dom = 1,
start_date = '2017-05-16-12:00:00','2006-08-16_12:00:00',
end_date = '2017-05-17-06:00:00','2006-08-16_12:00:00',
interval_seconds = 3600
io_form_geogrid = 2,
debug_level = 1500
/
&geogrid
parent_id = 1, 1,
parent_grid_ratio = 1, 3,
i_parent_start = 1, 31,
j_parent_start = 1, 17,
e_we = 285, 380,
e_sn = 258, 344,
geog_data_res = 'default','default',
dx = 4000,
dy = 4000,
map_proj = 'lambert',
ref_lat = 44.98,
ref_lon = -118.00,
truelat1 = 30.0,
truelat2 = 60.0,
stand_lon = -121.0,
geog_data_path = '/home/user_name/models/WRF3.8.1/BUILD/GEOG/'
/
&ungrib
out_format = 'WPS',
prefix = 'HRRR2WRF',
/
&metgrid
fg_name = 'HRRR2WRF'
io_form_metgrid = 2,
/
Any thoughts why I can't get WPS to process all 18 hours? I greatly appreciate any help on this.
Thanks,
Vikram
