metgrid crashes: get_min(): No items left in the heap

Try plotting just your SST_MASK variable. ghtsst-to-intermediate will make one in a separate file. If you append the mask field to an SST file, then you can't see it with int2nc - there's a bug, so only the first one is shown. Or there's a bug in my program.

Hi Bart,
I want to run WPS with constant SST data with the intermediate file which is the output of your program. I mean that I used the WPS-ghrsst-to-intermediate program to create the SST files and I used the WPS-interp-intermediate to product the intermediate file at the time period I want, in this case is "SST:2014-07-05_0"
However, when I using the metgrid program, it failed.

[cloud@igplogin WPS.3]$ ./metgrid.exe

Please help me to fix this error!
Thank you very much!

I never run with constant SST, so I don't have much advice for you.

Perhaps your SST:2014-07-05_00 file has a field named LANDSEA in it? You don't want it to. I suggest you use ghrsst-to-intermediate to create a static SST_MASK file, and give that to metgrid via the constants_name path as well.

Hi Bart,
Can I use the option

fg_name = 'FILE','SST'

with the initial SST intermediate file?
I just want to update the SST data with the initial time step.
