Init_Atmosphere, ERA5, CRITICAL ERROR: Error in interpolation of st_fg to MPAS grid: num_st = xxx

[yibssss]

Hi Yall!
I encountered
CRITICAL ERROR: Error in interpolation of st_fg to MPAS grid: num_st = 2168
issue while running the init_atmosphere for a limited area MPAS run over CONUS, using ERA 5 dataset.
I read some of the other post and tried switching my domain but it always result in
CRITICAL ERROR: Error in interpolation of st_fg to MPAS grid: num_st = xxxx, where xxx is some number (i'm assuming the grid number?)
The same ERA5 input condition has ran WRF 4.5 without issue

This is more like a data issue. We are aware that incorrect processing of ERA5 may lead to such errors.

Would you please run the script to process ERA5, then rerun init_atmosphere using the newly created intermediate files?

Please let me know if you still have any problems. Thanks.

Aside from a potential issue with the soil temperature data in the intermediate file, it also appears from the log.init_atmosphere.0000.out file that the ERA53D intermediate file may be lacking any 3-d humidity information -- either relative humidity or specific humidity. At isobaric levels, only GHT, TT, U, and V are reported; e.g.,

Interpolating GHT at 4 95000.0
Interpolating TT at 4 95000.0
Interpolating U at 4 95000.0
Interpolating V at 4 95000.0
