Hi MPAS Folks,
I've noticed some strange stripes in the near-surface fields of a recent MPAS simulation I ran, and I was wondering if any of you have seen something similar before? They show up in the 2m temperature, soil temperature, 10 m wind, and skin temperature fields, but I haven't seen them in the lowest model level temperature field or any field above the ground, which makes me think they're related to land surface conditions. However, I haven't been able to find them in the static or init files I used to run this simulation so far. I've attached an image of the skin temperature from this experiment--the stripes show up most clearly near the Rio Grande, but are present in much of the rest of the image.
Thanks,
Matt
