I’m just following up to note that this issue with the namelist and the script was resolved in another thread where it was also raised. There is a typographical error in the released script where the namelist is automatically generated. I inadvertently introduced the error into the script for MCIPv5.0 when I removed the processing for MM5 and changed the name of the namelist variable from “file_ter” to “file_geo”.
The solution is to modify your script to replace “file_ter” with “file_geo” where the namelist is generated. This has been corrected in MCIPv5.1 (released with CMAQv5.3.1).
We are currently interpolating some MCIP5.0 files for a finer grid using m3cple. In order to do so we had to swap the x-orig and y-orig in the 5.0 GRIDDESC file for m3cple to work otherwise we were getting grid-mismatch errors. Is that normal behavior? Of note the m3cple version we are using is based on IOAPI 3.2 from a couple of years ago.
What version of m3cple? (Note that all the M3Tools programs always log the program version when they start execution, as part of the “splash screen”). m The current version is Id: m3cple.f90 209 2021-11-10 19:03:04Z coats
and the change-log indicates bug-fixes in August 2018 and Nov 2021 – is your version up-to-date?
