Converting to Geotiff

namelist_wrf.txt

Hi,

I am encountering the following error when generating the Geotiff file from the wrfout file for a single time (By making the history interval to 1 in namelist.input while running WRF). However, I am able to generate geotiff for wrfout with all time steps together.

Converting to Geotiff. Please wait ...

fatal:Subscript out of range, error in subscript #0 fatal:An error occurred reading all_steps fatal:["Execute.c":8637]:Execute: Error occurred at or near line 21 in file /home/raghu/PostWRF/modules/geotiff.ncl

cat: /home/raghu/PostWRF/modules/geo_eq_ok.txt: No such file or directory

Could you please help me in fixing the issue.

Hi. Thank you for reporting this problem. It seems there is a problem in the source code. I need a couple of days to work on that and fix it.

Please pull the updates, or clone the updated software and try your task again, and report the results. I want to be sure that your problem is solved.

Hi, Thank you for the update and is working fine with Geotiff. However, facing a very similar issue with plotting other maps (Ex. contour maps and skew-T etc).

[anikfal]

Yes. This was actually a bug in the software, when the WRF output has only one single time. The remaining tasks (contour maps, cross-section maps, ...) will be updated in a couple of days.

Thank you for the good first issue!

In case of any other problems, you can continue commenting on this issue, or making new ones.

Thanks for the update. Will get back to you if I have any issues.

Thanks

Hi,

Thank you very much for your help in fixing the previous issue. However, I am looking to automatically process the hourly wrfout files from the same run (multiple files). I have tried with some scripts by looping but couldn't able to do a successful process.

Could you please help in fixing the issue?

Thanks and regards, Raghu

Hi, After running ./postwrf.sh, you can put multiple wrf file names (for the same WRF run) , separated by comma, and they will be treated as a single merged file.

What are the names of your WRF files?

[meteomanic]

My wrfout file naming is as follows:

wrfout_d01_2022_12_03-00:00:00 wrfout_d01_2022_12_03-01:00:00 wrfout_d01_2022_12_03-02:00:00 wrfout_d01_2022_12_03-03:00:00 . . . . wrfout_d01_2022_12_06-01:00:00 wrfout_d01_2022_12_06-02:00:00 wrfout_d01_2022_12_03-03:00:00
