fire_emis: failed to read datos_totales.txt at record = 22020; error = 5010

[Andrea Ximena Miranda Corzo]

Dear all, 

I have interests to create wrffire_d<domain> files my simulation in WRF-Chem. 

I downloaded the data from 2023 with MOZART speacions from this page https://www.acom.ucar.edu/acresp/MODELING/finn_emis_txt/2023/, where there one txt for day, so I join all in one txt that have data for all days. 

But when I am trying to execute the ./fire_emiss, i encountered this error:

....chk_map: checking output variable pm25

chk_map: checking output variable pm10
 fire_emis: getting julian days for /data/users/ysilva/WRF_CHEM4/fire_emiss/grid_finn_fire_emis_v2020/src/datos_totales.txt
 fire_emis: this usually takes about 30 - 45 seconds
fire_emis: failed to read datos_totales.txt at record =      22020; error =  5010
STOP Read error

datos_totales.txt have all the data for 2023, but in the namelist I only try to execute ./fire_emis date 213 (1st of August ) to 214 (2 nd of August ).

Could anyone help me please,

Thank you all :)

Hi Andrea, 

is it possible that something happened when merging the text files, e.g. a header in the middle of the text file? Or else could you try to just run one day using the original text file and see if that works?

Hi Gabriele! 

Well, I tried to run ./fire_emis for one day, and it end successfully with the files wrffirechemi... .

 To join the .txt files I used the next commands:

1. Copy the head of the first file

    head -n 1 GLOB_MOZ4_2023001.txt > GLOB_MOZ4.txt

2. Concat all the files  without the head:

    cat GLO_MOZ4_2023* | sed '1d' >> GLOB_MOZ4.txt

To check I open the file GLOB_MOZ4.txt, and its seems all it's ok with the structure.

Could you tell me if maybe I'm doing something wrong. 

Thank you

Hi Andrea

I assume the merging might add some hidden characters or some other mismatch in format. We could try and dig into the issue but since it works to create single days, could you just run all the simulation days separately?
