[Wrf-users] wrf restart run produces "cfl exceeded" statement

[Ahmad Wan]

Hello,
I'd appreciate if anyone can help explain the following. I ran a restart run of WRF with success, but some of the timesteps produce the statement 

3 points exceeded cfl=2 in domain d02 at time whatever_time

the run itself has not crashed yet, but I am wondering is this simply a warning, or is this serious problem. I understand it has something to do with CFL criterions and numerical stability. I am asking this because i plan on doing climatological run (perhaps > 10 years), so if it happens next time, i should know what to do (or what NOT to do). For example, changing the time step. 


thank you for your time,

regards 

Wan Ahmad Ardie
