Changing wrfbiochemi file for ingestion into WRFChem not working

[cm17nav]

What happened: My run with an altered wrfbiochemi_domain_{projectTag} file is not working. The run stopped during pre.bash: the message at the end of pre.bash.e was

rm: cannot remove 'namelist.input': No such file or directory starting wrf task 0 of 1 starting wrf task 0 of 1

MPI_ABORT was invoked on rank 0 in communicator MPI_COMM_WORLD with errorcode 1.

NOTE: invoking MPI_ABORT causes Open MPI to kill all MPI processes. You may or may not see output from other processes, depending on exactly when Open MPI kills them.

in module_wrfchem_lib ... cp: cannot stat '/nobackup/cm17nav/simulation_WRFChem4.2_b1/restart/base/wrfrst_d01_2015-06-01_00:00:00': No such file or directory

In my WRFotron's pre.bash, I commented out lines 107-129.

(I am not sure whether this is helpful or not: rsl.error.0000 had an error message at the end, which was

FATAL CALLED FROM FILE: <stdin> LINE: 314 Possibly missing file for = auxinput6)

The path to my WRFotron is /nobackup/cm17nav/WRFotron2.3.0_WRFChem4.2_b1. The path to my simulation folder is /nobackup/cm17nav/simulation_WRFChem4.2_b1.

What you expected to happen: The altered wrfbiochemi_domain_{projectTag} file to be incorporated into WRFChem when pre.bash lines 107-129 were commented out.

It looks like it first broke at second_real_out/rsl.error.0000, where the error at the end says:

-------------- FATAL CALLED ---------------
FATAL CALLED FROM FILE:  <stdin>  LINE:    2529
 med_read_wrf_chem_bioemissions: error opening wrfbiochemi_d01

So, it wasn't able to open the wrfbiochemi_d01 file. Could you try without commenting out lines 107-129 in pre.bash? The if statement on lines 107-117 shouldn't be run, as this is only if the wrfbiochemi_d01 doesn't exist. However, I think the for loop on lines 119-129 might be needed to set the correct START_DATE and SIMULATION_START_DATE.

Thank you, that looks like it's done the trick

Great, glad to hear!
