Issues rendering WRF out files (Paint Failed, domain is just a straightline)

1

Hello,
I can not find a previous post about this so hopefully you can help!

I am trying to import WRF out files into vapor however when I for example try to view QCLOUD in the volumetric renderer I get paint failed and when I try view REFD_MAX or any other variable in TwoDData the domain is just a straight line and without any renderers the domain is weirdly shaped

This data does work in a program called Vislt so I am confused as to why it does not work here?

The WRF out file is here if anyone would like to try help me:

Thanks,
Matt

Hi @matt, thanks for sharing your file. I’m looking into it.

Thank you, I managed to import a new WRF-ARW run and display TwoDData however I still can’t get anything other than that to display

Edit: After a new run it’s the same as described in my original post

Hello,
It turns out the problem was in my domain settings, problem is fixed

Thanks Matt. Could you share what exactly was wrong? Vapor was reading the X coordinates as ranging from -180 to -180, but the values for XLONG, XLONG_U, and XLONG_V looked legitimate to me. I’m curious what was going on.

I am using WRF Domain Wizard to set up my domains and in the namelist.wps it generates there is the following:

 pole_lat             = 90
 pole_lon             = 0

After removing that from my namelist.wps the problem resolved itself.

I would also like to add on that adding

 &afwa
 afwa_diag_opt=1
 afwa_ptype_opt = 1,1 !(precipitation type)
 afwa_vil_opt = 1, 1 !(vertical integrated liquid)
 afwa_radar_opt = 1, 1 !(radar)
 afwa_severe_opt = 1, 1 !(severe weather)
 afwa_icing_opt = 1, 1 !(icing)
 afwa_vis_opt = 1, 1 !(visibility)
 afwa_cloud_opt = 1, 1 !(cloud)
 afwa_therm_opt = 1, 1 !(thermal indices)
 afwa_turb_opt = 1, 1 !(turbulence)
 afwa_buoy_opt = 1, 1 !(buoyancy)
 /

To the namelist breaks any thing to do with 3D Data as removing it fixed all the issues I had with the program however I do need those outputs

Hey @matt, I’m not familiar the WRF Domain Wizard or its configuration, but I am noticing an odd value in your projection string. +lon_0=1.e+20f seems like an error. When I change this value to 145.02, the renderings seem correct. If you change the STAND_LON global attribute, it should help.

            :CEN_LAT = -37.753f ;
            :CEN_LON = 145.02f ;
            :TRUELAT1 = -37.338f ;
            :TRUELAT2 = 1.e+20f ;
            :MOAD_CEN_LAT = -37.753f ;
            :STAND_LON = 1.e+20f ;  <--------- Change to 145.02
