NaN or Infinity detected in VDIFF

CMAQ Run Time Errors and Issues
1

Hi, I am using CMAQv5.3.3 with enabling ISAM and my simulation fails on the 21th time step. The errors are as follows:
Processing Day/Time [YYYYDDD:HHMMSS]: 2020226:210000
Which is Equivalent to (UTC): 21:00:00 Thursday, Aug. 13, 2020
Time-Step Length (HHMMSS): 000640

Any recommendations for how to solve this or investigate further?
Thanks!

You might try a run that is compiled using the debug/check-everything compile-flags used in the corresponding I/O API *Makeinclude.dbg – that should give you the subroutine and line-number at which the NaN occurs.

Thanks. I figured out the issue.

could you please tell me what was the issue, cause im having the same problem!

@jstergiou please post your log files so that we can provide you with assistance.

Its ok i set CTM_ABFLUX to N and it worked! Thank you.

NaN can be tested by comparing the value against itself (they are defined to not be equal any values).

I figured out the issue...

Hi, I met the same issue with CMAQv5.4, and setting CTM_ABFLUX to N wouldn’t work for me. Here is my log file, any help would be grateful.

I would recommend compiling CCTM in debug mode to find out where in the code the computations causing the NaN value occur - the same recommendation given by @cjcoats in the second post from the top.

Thank you for your advice, I will try.

Hello, Professor, I also met the same problem, I would like to ask you how you finally solved it?

Hi
It turns out that there is NaN in my emission inputs, which can be checked with ncview, I removed the NaN and the problem was solved.

Hi there, I have recently encountered the same issue. Could you please share how you solved this? Thanks!
