richardson not working -- bad h — at Version 1

Description (last modified by pesei)

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

Can you please give a few more details? How long into the integration happens this? Which part of the globe? Day or night? Which resolution / nest level? Maybe post your input file.
