 Note: Large numbers of point sources (e.g. > 100,000 on any sub-domain

For us to look into this further, could you please post the exact model version you are using and attach your run script and full log file?

Thanks for your reply. I have switched to CMAQ old version.

I’m glad to hear that you appear to have found a solution to your problem.

In general, we encourage users to use the most up-to-date model version for their applications as it incorporates scientific advances and bug fixes relative to earlier versions. Given your failed experience with using a newer model version for your application, we are still curious to learn more about the details of the problem you encountered so that we can identify the underlying causes and determine whether any corrective actions are needed in the CCTM code.

Providing these additional details (run script and full log files, as well as information on which older version of the CCTM you have fallen back to in order to solve the problem and whether there is anything in your setup that makes it unique) would help not only the CMAQ development team but could also be beneficial for other forum members who may encounter similar issues in their work.
