Failed to build real.exe when compiling WRF-CMAQ two-way model

WRF-CMAQ
10

Hi Liu,

I am glad to hear now you can create those 4 exe files. Here are the answers for your questions:

  1. For nested domains, you can’t run WRF-CMAQ the way as running WRF only by providing nesting information in the WRF namelist separated by comms. You need to generate corresponding WRF input for each domains as well as IC/BC. Then run the nested domains one by one in a sequential order.

  2. When you run the offline CMAQ model, here is the flow: run WRF, run MCIP, then run CMAQ. For the WRF-CMAQ coupled model, the MCIP step is gone (literally being absorbed in the coupled model calculation). When you run the coupled model with option 1 or 3, MCIP like files are created for checking purposes. The values of in those MCIP like files are not exactly the same as corresponding MCIP files. They are off by one WRF time step.

Cheers,
David
