namelist.input. The mismatched vertical levels resulted in the crash, I think. You may have different vertical levels as defined by e-vert, and WRF will do interpolation from num_metgrid_levels to e-vert. However, num_metgrid_levels in the namelist.input
should be the same as input data. Just straightforward double check this number from your met_em.d0* file. I think it should be 27 rather than 65. Hope that is helpful.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<br>
Somehow WRF portal is automatically changing num_metgrid_levels to a number equal to e_vert when editing ETA levels. In fact that is not the case and there are only 27 levels in the input files as you suggested. Seems like it's worked a treat. Thanks.<br>

I am trying to arrange vertical levels within a simulation but the simulation ends at start up. Below is the error message I get from any rsl.error files. I am guessing that there is a mismatch between boundary condition vertical levels and the levels I am
trying to set up. Is this something that settings can fix or do I have to look up boundary data with higher vertical resolution? If so, can you please suggest high resolution (vertical) boundary data sources?<br>
