CMAQ-DDM produces NaN values at certain point

#1

Hi All,

So, my CMAQ-DDM over East Asia worked fine until the point where some too big numbers popped out.

The SNO2/NOx from SENSGRID over three days:

DDM2

DDM3

Is it a numerical diffusion? I tried to reduce the time step but it didn’t help.

I remembered the same issue happened several years ago, and if my memory serves, it had something to do with the options incompatibility with the DDM.

Thanks!

Amir

It was caused by a rapid change in my emissions. No issue with the DDM.
