Re: get values from wrfout file for all lat, lon points

It looks like you are running into a memory issue. How big are the variables you are trying to write to ASCII?

Is there a reason you need to write ASCII files? We usually recommend against this, especially if they are very large. This is an inefficient and cumbersome way to store data.

If you continue to have problems, then I will need to have access to your script and data. Please see:
