Hello. I have run the RegCM3 tutorial for July and August 2002 over Europe.

I have been unable to postprocess the output.

In the output dir, data files were produced:

-rw-rw-r-- 1 notaro notaro 88592000 Jun 5 15:40 ATM.2002070100

-rw-rw-r-- 1 notaro notaro 87883264 Jun 5 18:02 ATM.2002080100

-rw-rw-r-- 1 notaro notaro 41997312 Jun 5 18:02 SRF.2002080100

Now, I try to postprocess. postproc.in says the following:

2002080100, ! idate0 = First date in File (yymmddhh)

2002080100, ! idate1 = Start date for averaging and re-writing

2002083121, ! idate2 = End date for averaging and re-writing

2, ! iotype: 1=I*2 NetCDF; 2=r*4 NetCDF; 3=grads; 4=vis5d

.false., ! plv

.false., !

.false., ! Write out header?

.false., ! Write out all RegCM data b/twn idate1 & idate2?

.false., ! Average RegCM data b/twn idate1 & idate2?

.false., ! Diurnali avg of RegCM data b/twn idate1 & idate2?

.true., ! Continually average ATM data b/twn idate1 & idate2?

-1., ! No. Days for continual averaging (-1=monthly;1=daily;5=5day)

'200208', ! postproc output filename (not including type & ext)

'../Input', ! ICBC directory

'output', ! RegCM Output directory

'DOMAIN.INFO', ! Domain Info Filename (from terrain)

'OUT_HEAD', ! Header File name (from RegCM)

'2002080100', ! 1st RegCM Output File Extension

Next, I run postproc.x:

....

Reading output: 2002083100

AVERAGING DATA: 2002083100 899928.0000000000 4

Reading output: 2002083106

AVERAGING DATA: 2002083106 899934.0000000000 1

Reading output: 2002083112

AVERAGING DATA: 2002083112 899940.0000000000 2

Reading output: 2002083118

AVERAGING DATA: 2002083118 899946.0000000000 3

DONE WRITING OUT DATA!!!

DONE!!!

It creates a netcdf file, but it is empty.

-rw-rw-r-- 1 notaro notaro 176 Jun 6 10:07 ATM200208AVG.nc

[notaro@ccrcam PracticeRun]$ ncdump -h *nc

netcdf ATM200208AVG {

// global attributes:

:domxmin = -4.888416f ;

:domxmax = 32.60123f ;

:domymin = 37.03973f ;

:domymax = 54.29552f ;

:domzmin = 1050.f ;

:domzmax = 0.f ;

What did I do wrong?

Sometimes, if I change some parameters in postproc.in, I get this error:

COMPUTING AVERAGE OUT FIELDS: 1 1 1

xhravg= 899208.0000000000

ncvarid: ncid 6: Variable not found

ncdimid: ncid 6: Invalid dimension id or name

Thanks,
