Hello,
i am running some experiments with WRF 4.6.1 for Hurricane Milton using moving nest (1.5 km grid spacing(
I uploaded wrfout data into latest version of VAPOR (MAC) but i cannot get any acceptable visualization of the very same variable:
i am getting just a line…see figure attached.
Can you please advice?
Thank you very much,
All the best

Hi Antonio,
Looks like a coordinate problem. Can you provide a sample file that I can look at?
Thanks,
Scott
Hello
here it is the sample file (link valid for 3 days)
thank you for your help
All the best

Hi Antonio, just letting you know that I have the file and am looking into it.
Good morning Scott, thank you for your time devoted to this problem and for your help, best regards
No problem Antonio. I believe the problem lies with the value for the STAND_LON attribute in your file. This determines the alignment of your grid’s projection, and currently has a value of 1.e+20f.
I’m not sure if this is the correct value for your case, but when I set it to -90.67507 (the same value as CEN_LON) with the NCO command below, I get the rendering of CLDFRA below which seems reasonable. What do you think?
ncatted -O -a STAND_LON,global,o,f,-90.67507 ~/Downloads/wrfout_d02_2024-10-05_05\:30\:00 -o ~/Downloads/newStandLon.wrf
*ETA - typo in NCO command
Good evening, thank you very much, i will install nco on my laptop and i will try to use the nco command you suggested. I will inform you tomorrow. Best regards
Dear Scott, there is a new issue, i am trying to visualize the wrfout
file that i sent you as an example but very often vapor crashes when i
am doing isosurface rendering of QRAIN or REFL_10CM, especially if i am trying to zoom in or out. Do you have any suggestion about this problem? where can i find the log file of the crash? thanks you best regards
Hi Antonio, this might be platform dependent. I can’t reproduce the crash on my development computer with some rudimentary tests. What OS are you using, and do you have a session file that you can share so I can match the parameters you’re using?
Good morning everybody, indeed i solved the problem by using the volume visualization instead of the isosurface one. Basically, by setting properly the trasparency, i can obtain nearly the same effect that using the isosurface tool. Thank you best regards
Thanks Antonio, glad you got it to work, but what OS are you using? If this is something we can reproduce, then it’s something we will want to fix. Crashes are something we need to be on top of.
