Description
I'm using FLEXPART-WRF_v3.3.2 with input data obtained from WRF-ARW.
I keep getting the following error:
richardson not working -- bad h = -2.87909937
where the negative h usually varies a bit. After this the programs aborts. I delved into the code and found out that this is due to FLEXPART getting a negative value for the Boundary layer height. How can Flexpart think that h is negative? what can be the source of this problem?
As a workaround, I chose
SFC_OPTION = 1
but then I got
#### FLEXPART MODEL ERROR! SFC_OPTION = 1
I went into the code again and find out that this option aborts the program since SFC_OPTION = 1 is no longer supported:
write(*,*) ' #### Reading from WRF no longer supported.'
write(*,*) ' #### ---------------------------------'
I modified the code so that it will not abort, but im wondering why this option is no longer supported
