Hello,

I am running the launch-wrapper and I get an error with the storm's name. If my hurricane is the fifth storm of the Atlantic, do I name it as 05L? I have attached 

an image with my error message.

Thank you for your help,

Hana

Hi Hana,

Thanks for your question. Look in the Tcvitals file to see what storm (number, date and time) you are interested in running. E.g. Below shows the number (05L), name (DORIAN) and time (2019082500). Use them in the global_vars.sh file. 

NHC  05L DORIAN    20190825 0000 108N 0497W 280 057 1008 1014 0241 18 019 0037 -999 -999 0037 M -999 -999 -999 -999 72 146N  611W -999 -999 -999 -999

 

Please let me know if you run into more issues with this. 

Thanks

Hello Biswas,

Thank you for getting back to me. I followed your instruction; however, there is no syndat_tcvitals.2019 file in /glade/p/ral/jntp/HWRF/datasets/V4.0aRelease/SYNDAT-PLUS directory. The date is up to 2018 so when I run ./launcher_wrapper, I get an error that there's no such a file or directory in SYNDAT-PLUS. I appreciate your help in this.

Thanks,

Hana

Hi Hana,

I know you have move beyond this step. But for future users I am providing the ftp server where users can get ATCF files from NHC: https://ftp.nhc.noaa.gov/atcf/.

Thanks
