Help needed to run gen_be_wrapper.ksh using SLURM in WRFDA

[haritha1022]

Dear all

I am currently working on generating background error (BE) statistics using WRFDA on an HPC cluster that uses SLURM for job submission.

I was able to successfully run gen_be_stage0, stage1, stage2, and stage3 by directly executing the .exe files through simple shell commands without using a complete .sh script, even though some of those executions happened on the head node (which I understand is not recommended).

However, I am stuck at stage4 (gen_be_stage4). I am unable to run this script properly, and I am not sure how to write an appropriate SLURM shell script for it. Since I am new to WRFDA and SLURM scripting, I am not sure how to properly adapt this wrapper script, which seems to be originally written for an environment like LSF (e.g., using bsub or rsh). I want to execute this via sbatch on compute nodes, not on the head node.

Thank you
