Monotonically decreasing pressure

[JCollins]

Hi.

I created 3 nested domains in India. When I run real.exe, stop for the following error:

Turning off use of MAX WIND level data in vertical interpolation
Turning off use of TROPOPAUSE level data in vertical interpolation
Max map factor in domain 1 =  1.01. Scale the dt in the model accordingly.
Using sfcprs3 to compute psfc

I never saw this error before. I also did not find anything searching the Internet. I do not know how to solve it. I attach the namelist.input.

It looks like etac is the "critical eta level" or the eta level at which the WRF model surfaces become completely isobaric. The default value is 0.2. You can try adding it to the &dynamics section of your namelist, and setting it to something like 0.1 and see if that works better for you. Take a look in the WRF/doc/ directory and you can read more about this variable in the README.hybrid_vert_coord file.

Hello, I have the same issue.
I reduced it as suggested:
&dynamics
etac = 0.1,
hybrid_opt = 2,
w_damping = 0,
diff_opt = 2,
km_opt = 4,
diff_6th_opt = 0,
diff_6th_factor = 0.12,
base_temp = 290.
damp_opt = 3,
zdamp = 5000.,
dampcoef = 0.2,
khdif = 0,
kvdif = 0,
non_hydrostatic = .true.,
moist_adv_opt = 1,
scalar_adv_opt = 1,
gwd_opt = 0,
/

but then I just get this error:

----- ERROR: The reference pressure is not monotonically decreasing
This tends to be caused by very high topography
(i,j) = 1 1 , topography = 1132.98169 m
k = 4 , reference pressure = 85266.0938 Pa
k = 5 , reference pressure = 85458.2500 Pa
-------------- FATAL CALLED ---------------
FATAL CALLED FROM FILE: <stdin> LINE: 1247
In the dynamics namelist record, reduce etac from 0.100000001

No matter what value I chose, the error is the same. I am using WRF Version 4.3 and WRF Pre-processing System Version 4.3

Thank you in advance

@wrf_1993,
Can you please attach your full namelist.input file, along with the full output log that shows the error? Thanks!

hello guys,
did you solve this problem? can someone suggest solution?
