RIP4 problem with WRF V3.1 output

[waghorn]

My RIP4 package has worked on output from V2 and V3.0. It now fails on V3.1 with
Processing basic variables.

NetCDF error in ripdp_wrfarw. Marker = 78.00000

Variable not found

I presume it is not finding one of the basic variables it must have ie_

Horizontal wind (y-comp.), m/s
Horizontal wind (y-comp.), m/s
Temperature, K
Geopotential height, m
Pressure, hPa
Terrain height AMSL, m
Surface pressure, hPa
Map factor on cross points
map factor on dot points
Coriolis parameter, per s

according to the manual.

Can you advise what Marker=78.00000 is?
What has changed in the netCDF output in V3.1 from V3.0?

Thanks,
David

For anybody else coming across this/similar problem. My WRF netCDF output was missing a required variable. In this case the Coriolis Factor.

I apply the patch for Coriolis for WRF 3.4 >>> Still I have this message

Any advice pls.

Can you post a header dump of a netcdf output file eg

Code: Select all

ncdump -h wrfout_something > ncdump.txt

you must still be missing something.

I attach ncdump report into file.

Thanks in advance

I attach ncdump report into file.

Thanks in advance

Can't see it!

File is attached as a RAR?

Sorry, I not see that txt are not allowed to attach!

I can't see Coriolis here - 'E' or 'F'- so you need to check you've applied the hack correctly. I presume from the output you're using WRFEMS 3.4.1 .Your 'my_iofields_list.txt' should have this line-

+:h:0:E,F

[bsekirarski]

You are right
file was in a wrong place

So I add this file again and check

Tomorrow at 11:00 I will have new forecast files, I will create ncdump report from the product and send as a rar again...

As I can see Coriolis is in output files.

I started RIP and now when RIP works, I will need a work to have a new question.

Thanks a lot.
