I was trying to run 15km-3km mesh.

But as that is high res, much hard to run.

Then I want to try the 60-20km mesh to gain experience.

I tried to generate static.nc, and then init.nc, it both worked, but I could not get the forecast run.

Then I checked the msg, and it point to variable "isltyp" value is wrong.

I moved back to check the static.nc file, and see that the isltyp value:

isltyp = 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,

0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,

0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 16, 0, 16, 0, 0, 16, 0, 0, 0, 0, 16, 16, 0, 0, 16, 0,

0, 16, 0, 0, 0, 0, 16, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 16, 16, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 16, 0,

0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 16, 16, 0, 0, 0, 16, 16, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 16, 0, 0,

Which did not look right.

Here is the streams.init_atmosphere and namelist.init_atmospher file:

[whuang@cy001 run.535554]$ cat streams.init_atmosphere

<immutable_stream name="input"

Hi, Wei.

When processing the "static" file, you'll need to set config_static_interp = true and config_native_gwd_static = true in the namelist.init_atmosphere file. For reference, you can check Section 7.2.1 of the Users' Guide. If you encounter any troubles after setting these namelist options, please don't hesitate to reply to this post.
