Hi all,

While creating a domain for WRF-Hydro, I encountered the following error when running geogrid.exe: ERROR: Could not open /scratch/fatemehs/Geographical_Input_Data/WPS_GEOG/topo_30s/index

Upon checking my dataset, which contains the highest resolution Geographical Input Data, I noticed that I have topo_gmted2010_30s instead of topo_30s.

Are these datasets the same? If so, why is WPS unable to find it?

Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

Best,
Fatemeh

Hello Fatemeh,

What resolution did you set for geog_data_res in the namelist.wps file?

Regards

Shanaka

Hi,

I have used : nlcd2011_30m+topo_gmted2010_30s+default and high resolution of Geographical input data.
