Grid not matching

NEI Modeling Platform WRF
1

Hello,

I am using WRF-Chem version 4.5.2. As you can see in the screenshot attached, when I plot an average for oc_a01, the output is shifted as is the case for all output.

I am using NEI and MEGAN input files. I am running chem_opt = 201 using MOSAIC.
I know that the grid dimensions are fine for all input files except for the NEI ANTHRO_EMIS converted input files.

The wrfout parameters are:
:CEN_LAT = 38.705f ;
:CEN_LON = -97.42401f ;
:TRUELAT1 = 31.5f ;
:TRUELAT2 = 43.5f ;
:MOAD_CEN_LAT = 38.705f ;
:STAND_LON = -97.423f ;

However, the wrfchemi files have:
:CEN_LAT = 40.57356f ;
:CEN_LON = -94.64294f ;
:TRUELAT1 = 33.f ;
:TRUELAT2 = 45.f ;
:MOAD_CEN_LAT = 40.57356f ;
:STAND_LON = -97.f ;

I was using 12US1_459X299 from the GRIDDESC. I am unsure how to proceed.

Prior to the last ANTHRO_EMIS conversion step the grid parameters are mentioned below for all that was generated in the. process:
Prior to the final anthro_emis step I looked at the files:

NEI emis files after merge -
:XCENT = -97. ;
:YCENT = 40. ;
:XORIG = -2556000. ;
:YORIG = -1728000. ;

CMAQ METCRO2D_150717 -
:XCENT = -97. ;
:YCENT = 40. ;
:XORIG = -2556000. ;
:YORIG = -1728000.

WRF_OUT for CMAQ-
:CEN_LAT = 40.57356f ;
:CEN_LON = -94.64294f ;
:TRUELAT1 = 33.f ;
:TRUELAT2 = 45.f ;
:MOAD_CEN_LAT = 40.57356f ;
:STAND_LON = -97.f ;

WPS for CMAQ -
:CEN_LAT = 40.57356f ;
:CEN_LON = -94.64294f ;
:TRUELAT1 = 33.f ;
:TRUELAT2 = 45.f ;
:MOAD_CEN_LAT = 40.57356f ;
:STAND_LON = -97.f

Any help is much appreciated! Please let me know if you need more information.

Best,
Kruthika

I was able to fix it by changing the path to the wrf directory of the wrf-chem simulation instead of the directory used for CMAQ.
