Dear ALL,

I have performed a shorter (10 year) preprocessing and encountered the same problem again. Is this a bug? because I don't think it makes sense to set ptop to -5.

Has anyone ever encountered this problem before? I am using EH5OM as ICBC

Regards,

James

Dear ALL,

I came across a problem after a long PreProcessing ICBC run. The error is shown below and I have attached the log file for the icbc pre processing, and my regcm.in file.

 This might reasonably happen if you have a
 very tall mountain in your domain. Setting
 ptop to a smaller value could help.
 Otherwise, this indicates a bug somewhere...
