Dear MPAS Community

I am running MPAS 7 on a 240-48KM grid but it keeps on failing. I get this error in the log.0000.atmosphere.err file :
ERROR: Error in compute_layer_mean: pressure should increase with index.

When I investigate further I get this message below in the log file and then farther down the model looks like it blows up:

Troubles finding level 100.000 above ground.
Problems first occur at (2)
Surface pressure = 0.00000 hPa.
*** MSLP field will not be computed
Timing for diagnostic computation: 927.653 s
Timing for stream output: 2.49577 s


Does anyone have an idea of what the issue could be ?

Attached are the namelist, streams and log files.


Kind regards

Dear MPAS Community

I have managed to diagnose the error. The issue was that I did not set the the &dimensions parameters to 1 when I created the static.nc file.
The model is working fine now,

Kind regards
Linda
