arw2arl error

[asal]

Hi
I used arw2arl to convert my WRF file to arl for running HYSPLIT.I used gfortran compiler.I hit this error when using the arw2arl:

NetCDF: Variable not found
X
Variable not found: X
NetCDF: Variable not found
X
Variable not found: X
Some defined variables not found in file: wrfout_d01_2014-01-08_12:00:00
Edit WRFDATA.CFG and try again ...



please help me!!!

Are you using the latest version of arw2arl?
The "X" was added to the WRFDATA.CFG as a placeholder for dealing with the precision issue of vertical vertical and precipitation fields. The arw2arl program should skip reading it from WRF output file. Using the older version, you will see the error message like the one you have.
Go to the arw2arl.f, check if you have "IF(TRIM(arw3dv(n)).EQ.'X') CYCLE" in the open netcdf section.
If not, you need to get an updated version arw2arl.

The older version of metprog package dose not support gfortran compiler to create arw2arl program. Is not it?!

We just updated the metprog.zip file with the most recent one. You can find the download link at:
