Maximum number of variables per GRIBOUT block – in #8: General Questions

in #8: General Questions

<p> You have chosen the wrong level option. It should be <code> yvarml </code> not <code> yvarzl </code> . It does not make sense to interpolate 2D-Variables to z-levels, which may give some very interesting results ;-) <br/> The maximum number of variables that can be chosen are as follows (this holds at least for cclm4.8_clm19) <br/> <pre> nzmxml = 150, &amp; ! maximum number of output model-level variables nzmxpl = 50, &amp; ! maximum number of pressure-level variables nzmxzl = 15, &amp; ! maximum number of height-level variables nzmxc = 20, &amp; ! maximum number of constant variables </pre> </p>

The maximum number of variables that can be chosen are as follows (this holds at least for cclm4.8_clm19) 

  nzmxml = 150, & ! maximum number of output model-level variables
  nzmxpl =  50, & ! maximum number of pressure-level variables
  nzmxzl =  15, & ! maximum number of height-level variables
  nzmxc  =  20, & ! maximum number of constant variables
