Hi, all! I’m using SMOKE version 3.5, MCIP version 5.1 and WRF version 4.3 for my modeling programs. First, I got an error message from laypoint log file of SMOKEv3.5 below: *** ERROR ABORT in subroutine LAYPOINT Cannot process vertical coordinate type -9999 And I understood why that error oc…

Hi, I tried revising the header of some mcip files (METCRO3D, METCRO2D, METDOT3D etc.) and it worked well! Your suggestion was really helpful to me to solve this problem :slight_smile: And I also think the best solution is to change the SMOKE version as you mentioned before, so, I will try to cha…

Please check out this previous ticket: [image] SMOKE Laypoint fails on MCIP 5.1 with VGTYP = -9999 ; SMOKE This relates to failures in our modeling system caused by WRF updating to use hybrid vertical coordinates. Our new WRF runs are from WRF ARW V4.1.3. We updated to M…

B.H.Baek is doubtlessly correct in saying " [quote] You need to update your Laypoint (SMOKE v4.7) with the latest version from SMOKE v4.8 or v4.8.1 to handle this hybrid VGTYP = -9999. [/quote]". But if updating SMOKE is infeasible for any reason, use m3edhdr to change the VGTYP value to 7 in a…

Thank you for your response! So… is there only one choice to change SMOKE version 4.7 or 4.8.1 ??

Thank you for replying! But I’ve already mentioned that I changed my VGTYP value from -9999 to 7 using m3edhdr program. And I got another error message. So, I think that’s not a good solution, and if there is no solution without changing SMOKE version, I think I have to do it. And did you change …

Well, perhaps I misunderstood you…. But I thought said you had used m3edhdr to change the VGTYP in just the one MCIP file where the error pointed. And then got an error on inconsistent headers AMONG the MCIP files. Quoting from your post: **“**So I revised METCRO3D header ‘VGTYP = -9999’ to ‘VGT…

Oh, I got it what you said to me! Yes, I only revised METCRO_3D file’s header. I’m so sorry to misunderstand you. Then, I will try to revise all of headers of MCIP files! Thank you for your advice :slight_smile: HyeonYeong Park

Happy that worked out for you! Joe
