Dear all,
 
I am currently doing simulations at 20KM resolution. I had done some simulation before and successful runs completed with the following $timeparam settings
 
              &timeparam
               radfrq     =    30.,
               abemh   =    18.,
               abatm    =   120.,
               dt          =   60.,
I am currently continueing with sensitivity test over the same domain and period. I have only modified LANDUSE file in Terrain directory and changed FUDGE_LND/FUDGE_LND_s
in domain.param. with the same &timeparam settings as in above, the runs results are NaN as shown in a section below;
 
maximum time =  121.000 days.
 time step =   60.00 seconds
 dx =  20000. meters
 grid points (x,y) = (154, 78)
 number of levels = 18
 constant hor. diff. coef. =  0.10000E+05 m*m/s
 maximum  hor. diff. coef. =  0.10417E+06 m*m/s

QN: What is wrong with my current settings, any idea please.
       Do change of Makefile in the Main directory affect time step settings.
 
Really appreciated!
