hello all,

I'm working on wrf chem for date 2019 and which required boundary condition by WACCM .

I was trying to download WACCM data for WRF-chem but facing the error given below:

There were problems accessing the data:
Warning: Could not retrieve date 2019-10-01.
Warning: Could not retrieve date 2019-10-02.
Warning: Could not retrieve date 2019-10-03.
Warning: Could not retrieve date 2019-10-04.
Warning: Could not retrieve date 2019-10-05.

Error: No dates were retrieved.

anyone else facing the same error while downloading this data, or I'm making any mistake while downloading data.

t6hank you.

Dear Shubham

which data are you trying to use?
The CAM-Chem data from https://www.acom.ucar.edu/cam-chem/cam-chem.shtml is available only through June 2019.

For the time period you are looking at, you will be able to use WACCM output from our near-realtime forecasts: https://www.acom.ucar.edu/waccm/forecast/

Please see also our WRF-Chem tools website for more information:

The new WACCM Subset Download is installed; it uses the NCAR Research Data Archive:

https://www.acom.ucar.edu/waccm/download.shtml

The new subsetter provides access to older model results; WACCM results are available from 8 September 2018 until 2 weeks ago.
