FATAL CALLED FROM FILE: <stdin> LINE: 76 mieaer /refr/ outside range 1e-3 - 10 refr= 0.15789E+02

[Ediclê de Souza Fernandes Duarte]

Hello people,

I'm having this error when I run WRFChem: 

"tail rsl.error.0000 Timing for main: time 2022-12-30_20:29:20 on domain 2: 4.54983 elapsed seconds Timing for main: time 2022-12-30_20:29:40 on domain 2: 4.19243 elapsed seconds -------------- FATAL CALLED --------------- FATAL CALLED FROM FILE: <stdin> LINE: 76 mieaer /refr/ outside range 1e-3 - 10 refr= 0.15789E+02 ------------------------------------------- application called MPI_Abort(MPI_COMM_WORLD, 1) - process 0 [unset]: write_line error; fd=-1 buf=:cmd=abort exitcode=1 : system msg for write_line failure : Bad file descriptor"

Is this a bug in the model chem/aerosol_driver.F? 

How to fix this?

I attached the namelis.input and rsl.error 

As you can see, I am using gocart (300) for simple simulation of dust and sea salt. In this case optical properties are important. 

I could not find in forums a good and direct answer for this issue. But I know that some people had similar problems using other chem_opt (201, etc).

Can anyone help me, please? I'm using WRFV4.5. 

I tried all combinations of emiss_opt = 0 and 2, with dust_opt = 0 and seas_opt = 1; none of them worked for the entire simulation. seas_opt = 1 and emiss_opt = 0 worked over a longer period, but ultimately stopped due to the same error.

Thank you very much!
