Hello, I’m currently utilizing WRF version 4.5.1 and have come across an error. For reference, I’ve based my namelist file on the one provided at EQUATES WRF namelist. I’d greatly appreciate any assistance. Thank you!

Do you have wrfsfdda_d01 and wrffdda_d01 files in the run directory?

Thanks,

Rob

Hi, Thank you for your reply! I have wrffdda_01, but there is no wrfsfdda_d01.

WRF is trying to open the wrfsfdda_d01 file for domain 1. That is aux input 9. Not getting into best modeling practices and various model configurations, it looks like you are using the NOAH LSM instead of the PX LSM. NOAH does not need the wrfsfdda_d0* files. You should be able to set grid_sfdda to 0 and px soil nudging to 0, but that probably does not matter if not running PX LSM. Again, this is is not an endorsement or critique of your model config, just why it is not running.

Best. Rob

grid_sfdda = 1,
pxlsm_soil_nudge = 1,
