arw2arl error with library

[Trangtran]

Hi,

I used arw2arl to convert my WRF file to arl for running HYSPLIT. I hit this error message I could not figure out the solution for it. Your help/suggestion would be highly appreciated.

./arw2arl /projects/trang/WRF_CMB3_HYSPLIT.1720/wrfout_d03_2013-01-24_00:00:00_bk
Using an existing decoding configuration: WRFDATA.CFG
NOTICE pakset:
Number of index records = 1
Number of records /time = 259
NOTICE pakini: start initialization rec = 1

Fortran runtime error: Record number not allowed for sequential access data transfer

Try processing the file in the same directory where the WRF output files reside. I think you are reaching a limit for the name of the input file.

Thanks for your response.

I've tried your suggestion but it does not work. Is there any other tip that I should try?

Hi I think I got my wrfout files converted. I recompiled the arw2arl using the same compilation option (pgf90) for both library and arw2arl and it seemed to work now. I think for the last time maybe I did not use the same compiler when compiling library and arw2arl.

Thanks

It is very important that you use the same compiler for both the libraries and the executable.
