wrffirechemi file name delay

[Zhifeng Yang]

Hi

I am using wrfchem 3.9 to read wrffirechemi fire emission data. However, it seems that the wrffirechemi file name does not match with the wrf time step. Here is the error message

The current_date is 2015-06-01_01:00:00, while wrffirechemi data is wrffirechemi_d01_2015-06-01_00:00:00.

I tried to figure out how wrf increases the time step. However, it seems that it uses something like "get data handle". I printed out a lot of message in my log file ("ZFY" in rsl.error.0000). But I am still not sure how wrf increases time. Do you have any ideas? Thank you very much.

See the attached rsl.error.0000 and namelist.input

Best,

sometimes the error message refers to one file but the error itself occurs at another file. I suggest checking also your wrfbiochemi and wrfchemi files.

Hi All,

I am facing a similar error while running .wrf.exe.  I have the right time in my wrfinput_d01 and wrffirechemi_d01 files but I am still getting the following error

d01 2016-01-01_00:00:00  NetCDF error in ext_ncd_get_dom_ti.code CHAR, line          83 Element TITLE

I attach here my namelist.input and rsl.error.0000 files.

I appreciate any leads with this issue.

Hi Gabriele,

Thanks for you reply.

I checked the emission files for anthro, biogenic and fire for any errors in the date and it doesn't seem to be a mismatch with the wfinput_d01 file.

I wonder if there is some other error I am missing. 

I attach here my namelis.input and rsl.error file. 

Thank you for the help.

The problem is with wrfchemi_gocart_bg_d<domain>. If you are running with MOZART/GOCART you don't need background fields. Please make sure you read through the WRF-Chem User Guide and the information we have on our website on how to set up a run with different chemistry options.
