ERROR not enough eta levels to reach p_top

Hello, I finish the install of WPS and WRF v4.
WPS works OK, but when I perform

mpirun -np 8 ./real.exe

Someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong please!!

Your p_top is very high and the vertical levels you have indicated are not enough to cover the entire vertical. You have several options, all you see in your output. You can increase the number of vertical levels or decrease your p_top. If you do not want to do one thing or the other, you should modify the dzstretch_s and dzstretch_u factors, which is what I usually do, but that depends on your needs.

Hello, thanks for the response,
I change
e_vert = 28, 28
to
e_vert = 35, 35
And it works.

Thanks a lot.
