PALM error messages

The following list displays the error messages reported by PALM. Each error message is identified by a unique message identifier which is composed of two letters and a four digit number. The second column contains the error message as reported in the job protocol (see here?). The third column explains the error and possible reasons in more detail, and also gives suggestions how to solve the problem.

Message identifier	Error message	Explanation
PA0001	"host" is not set. Please check that environment variable "localhost" is set before running PALM	By default, PALM gets the "host" value from reading the NAMELIST envpar, which is automatically provided in a local file named ENVPAR, if PALM is run with scripts mrun or palm_simple_run. The file ENVPAR is stored in the temporary working directory which you can specify in the .mrun.config file located in your working directory (normally ~/palm/current_version). You may check the contents of file ENVPAR (e.g. by running mrun with option -B preventing that the temporary working directory containing this file is automatically deleted when mrun is finished), or submit a trouble ticket. You can also look into the .mrun.config file where you set your "localhost".
PA0002	illegal coupling mode: ...	This message is related to the atmosphere-ocean coupling implemented in PALM. Internally, the variable coupling_mode defines the coupling setup used for the current respective model run. It may have one of the values "atmosphere_to_ocean" (atmospheric part of a coupled run), "ocean_to_atmosphere (ocean part of a coupled run), "precursor_atmos" (a precursor atmosphere run), "precursor_ocean" (a precursor ocean run), or "uncoupled" (atmosphere or ocean run without any intended coupling). This error message means that the initialization of the coupling did fail because coupling_mode has a value different from the ones mentioned before. Possible reasons might be trying a coupling between two atmosphere runs (or two ocean runs), or problems with the mrun script.
PA0003	dt_coupling is not set but required for coupling mode "..."	This error appears if the temporal interval for the data exchange dt_coupling is not explicitly set in case of runs with coupled models (e.g. atmosphere - ocean).
PA0004	coupling mode "...": dt_coupling = ... is not equal to dt_coupling_remote = ...	For coupled runs the temporal interval for the data exchange dt_coupling must be explicitly set and must have the same value in both models (dt_coupling has to be set in PARIN and PARIN_O). See also coupled runs.
PA0005	coupling mode "...": dt_coupling <= 0.0 is not allowed and is reset to MAX(dt_max(A,O)) = ...	This error occurs if an invalid value for dt_coupling is used in the parameter file. dt_coupling must be > 0.0 and equal in both models (dt_coupling has to be set in PARIN and PARIN_O). The letter A in the error message on the left refers to Atmosphere and the letter O to ocean. See also coupled runs.
PA0006	coupling mode "...": restart_time = ... is not equal to restart_time_remote = ...	restart_time has not been set properly (equal) in the atmosphere and ocean parameter file. See also coupled runs.
PA0007	coupling mode "...": dt_restart = ... is not equal to dt_restart_remote = ...	dt_restart has not been set properly (equal) in the atmosphere and ocean parameter file. See also coupled runs.
PA0008	coupling mode "...": simulation_time_since_reference = ... is not equal to simulation_time_since_reference_remote = ...	The simulated time is stored internally in the variable simulation_time_since_reference. In coupled mode both times must be equal. This error might occur when precursor runs are used with different startup times and the coupling is initiated inappropiately. See coupled runs for a detailed description of the setup for precursor runs.
PA0009	dx in atmosphere is not larger or equal than dx in ocean	Coupled runs allow to use different grid resolutions in atmosphere and ocean. It is, however, not allowed to use a finer grid resolution in the atmosphere than in the ocean.
PA0010	Domain size in x-direction is not equal in ocean and atmosphere	Coupled runs are only possible, if the horizontal model domain size is equal in both, atmosphere and ocean. Check the settings for dx, dy, nx and ny to avoid this error.
PA0011	dy in atmosphere is not larger or equal than dy in ocean	Coupled runs allow to use different grid resolutions in atmosphere and ocean. It is, however, not allowed to use a finer grid resolution in the atmosphere than in the ocean.
PA0012	Domain size in y-direction is not equal in ocean and atmosphere	Coupled runs are only possible, if the horizontal model domain size is equal in both, atmosphere and ocean. Have a look at the settings for dx, dy, nx and ny to avoid this error.
PA0013	illegal value given for loop_optimization: "..."	See parameter loop_optimization for allowed values, and check your parameter file.
PA0014	a non-flat topography does not allow ...	There are several features which do not work together with a non-flat topography. See parameter topography for possible restrictions and appropriately modify your parameter file. For a complete list of not allowed parameter settings due to a non-flat topography see check_parameters.f90.
PA0015	Using synthetic turbulence generator requires initializing_actions = "set_constant_profiles" or "read_restart_data"	When switching on the synthetic turbulence generator by setting use_synthetic_turbulence_generator = .TRUE., PALM has to be initialized using either constant profiles (initializing_actions = "set_constant_profiles") or loading data from a previous run (initializing_actions = "read_restart_data"). Other initialization actions do not support the synthetic turbulence generator.
PA0016	unknown solver for perturbation pressure: psolver = "..."	See parameter psolver for allowed values, and correct your parameter file.
PA0017	Vertical grid stretching is not allowed together with particle advection.	With the currently implemented spatial interpolation of flow quantities on the respective particle positions, a constant vertical grid spacing must be used.
PA0018	ros_count > 5 in Rosenbrock method	The Rosenbrock method is used if curvature and solution effects are included in the calculation of cloud droplet growth due to condensation (see curvature_solution_effects). This algorithm may lead to unreasonable results, if the external conditions, especially the supersaturation, significantly changes between two PALM time steps. In that case, the algorithm will be carried out again with a smaller internal time step. The limits, which decide weather a result is reasonable or not, are only tested for a certain range of relative humidities and cloud droplet sizes. If this error appears, the result after 5 recalculations of the Rosenbrock algorithm is still regarded as unreasonable. Thus the limiting values may not be suitable for the current conditions and need to be adjusted in PALM's source code (see file lpm_doplet_condensation.f90 in the repository).
PA0019		message number is unused
PA0020	unknown multigrid cycle: cycle_mg = "..."	See parameter cycle_mg for allowed values, and appropriately correct your parameter file.
PA0021	unknown fft-algorithm: fft_method = "..."	See parameter fft_method for allowed values, and appropriately correct your parameter file.
PA0022	unknown advection scheme: momentum_advec = "..."	See parameter momentum_advec for allowed values, and appropriately correct your parameter file.
PA0023	momentum_advec or scalar_advec = "..." is not allowed with timestep_scheme = "..."	The 5th order advection scheme is conditional unstable in conjunction with euler or runge-kutta-2 integration. Instead, use timestep_scheme = runge-kutta-3.
PA0024	unknown advection scheme: scalar_advec = "..."	See parameter scalar_advec for allowed values, and appropriately correct your parameter file.
PA0025	use_upstream_for_tke is set to .TRUE. because use_sgs_for_particles = .TRUE. and scalar_advec /= 'ws-scheme'	This is just a warning telling you that the simple upstream discretization is used for the advection term of the TKE equation instead of the one that you have set with parameter scalar_advec. This is required in case of using SGS velocity components for particle transport, because non-diffusiv advection schemes may cause large artificial vertical gradients near the surface, which create numerical instabilities in the particle transport. You can avoid output of this warning by explicitly setting parameter use_upstream_for_tke in the parameter file (inipar-NAMELIST).
PA0026	advection_scheme scalar_advec = "bc-scheme" not implemented for loop_optimization = "cache"	For the Bott-Chlond scheme loop_optimization = "vector" must to be set.
PA0027	unknown timestep scheme: timestep_scheme = "..."	See parameter timestep_scheme for allowed values, and appropriately correct your parameter file.
PA0028	negative weighting factor	The weighting factor of each cloud droplet is recalculated during the calculation of the droplet growth due to collision and coalescence. This error appears, if any of the newly calculated values for the weighting factors is negative and the hall_fast or wang_fast collision kernel has been used (see collision_kernel). A possible reason may be illegal values of the collision kernel. Please submit a trouble ticket if you have run into this error.
PA0029	momentum advection scheme "..." does not work with timestep_scheme "..."	For timestep_scheme = 'runge-kutta-3' only momentum_advec = 'ws-scheme' or 'pw-scheme' gives a numerically stable solution.
PA0030	initializing_actions = "..." unkown or not allowed	See parameter initializing_actions for allowed values in initial runs (of a job chain). For a restart run, please set initializing_actions = 'read_restart_data' .
PA0031	initializing_actions = "set_constant_profiles" and "set_1d-model_profiles" are not allowed simultaneously	Set either initializing_actions = 'set_constant_profiles' in your parameter file, if the 3d-model shall be initialized with constant profiles, or set initializing_actions = 'set_1d-model_profiles' if the 3d-model shall be initialized with profiles of the (stationary) solution of the 1d-model.
PA0032	initializing_actions = "set_constant_profiles" and "by_user" are not allowed simultaneously	Set either initializing_actions = 'set_constant_profiles' in your parameter file, if the 3d-model shall be initialized with constant profiles, or set initializing_actions = 'by_user' , if the 3d-model shall be initialized with profiles to be provided by the user in routine user_init_3d_model of the user-interface.
PA0033	initializing_actions = "by_user" and "set_1d-model_profiles" are not allowed simultaneously	Set either initializing_actions = 'by_user' in your parameter file, if the 3d-model shall be initialized with profiles to be provided by the user in routine user_init_3d_model of the user-interface, or set initializing_actions = 'set_1d-model_profiles' , if the 3d-model shall be initialized with profiles of the (stationary) solution of the 1d-model.
PA0034	cloud_physics = .T. is not allowed with humidity = .F.	It is necessary to turn on humidity for the use of cloud physics.
PA0035	Using synthetic turbulence generator requires bc_lr = "dirichlet/radiation"	The synthetic turbulence generator requires a non-cyclic boundary condition along x direction with an inflow at the left domain boundary.
PA0036	humidity = .TRUE. and sloping_surface = .TRUE. are not allowed simultaneously	If alpha_surface is set to a non-zero value in order to use an inclined surface, the parameter sloping_surface is internally set .TRUE.. I.e., in the case of alpha_surface /= 0.0 the simultaneous use of humidity = .TRUE. is not allowed.
PA0037	Using synthetic turbulence generator requires bc_ns = "cyclic"	The synthetic turbulence generator only supports non-cyclic boundary conditions at the left/right boundary. In north/south direction, cyclic boundary conditions must be set.
PA0038	turbulent_outflow = .T. requires bc_lr = "dirichlet/radiation"	When using the turbulent outflow method, non-cyclic boundary condition along the x direction must be used. See also turbulent_outflow.
PA0039	Using synthetic turbulence generator in combination with turbulent_inflow = .T. is not allowed	A turbulent inflow can only be generated by either the synthetic turbulence generator or the turbulence recycling method. Using both at the same time is impossible.
PA0040	LWC is not conserved during collision! LWC after condensation: ... LWC after collision: ...	LWC means liquid water content. This should not happen. Please write a ​ticket.
PA0041	plant_canopy = .TRUE. requires a non-zero drag coefficient, given value is canopy_drag_coeff = 0.0	When simulating a plant canopy, a non-zero canopy_drag_coeff must be set in the parameter file under NAMELIST &canopy_par. The canopy model in PALM adds an additional sink/source terms to the momentum equations, the prognostic equation for temperature, and the subgrid scale turbulent kinetic energy equation. In case of humidity = .TRUE. or passive_scalar = .TRUE., an additional source/sink term is added to the prognostic equation of the respective scalar. If canopy_drag_coeff = 0.0, the additional terms equal zero and there would be no effect on the flow.
PA0042	use_top_fluxes must be .TRUE. in ocean mode	In ocean mode, fluxes at the water surface must be prescribed as driving boundary conditions. In atmosphere-ocean coupled runs, these fluxes are provided by the atmosphere run.
PA0043	ABS( alpha_surface = ... ) must be< 90.0	Upright surfaces are not allowed in case of sloping surfaces.
PA0044	dt = ... <= 0.0	The parameter dt (time step for the 3d-model) must not be set to a value <= 0.0.
PA0045	cfl_factor = ... out of range 0.0 < cfl_factor <= 1.0 is required	The Courant-Friedrichs-Levy factor used in the timestep condition must be within the given limits. See also cfl_factor .
PA0046	baroclinity (ug) not allowed simultaneously with galilei transformation	The Galilei coordinate transformation (see galilei_transformation) is not allowed under baroclinic conditions (where the geostrophic wind varies with height). Modify either ug_surface or galilei_transformation, or set use_ug_for_galilei_tr = .FALSE. appropriately in the parameter file.
PA0047	baroclinity (vg) not allowed simultaneously with galilei transformation	The Galilei coordinate transformation (see galilei_transformation) is not allowed under baroclinic conditions (where the geostrophic wind varies with height). Modify either vg_surface, or galilei_transformation appropriately, or set use_ug_for_galilei_tr = .FALSE. in the parameter file.
PA0048	variable translation speed used for Galilei-transformation, which may cause instabilities in stably stratified regions	You have set both galilei_transformation = .TRUE. and use_ug_for_galilei_tr = .FALSE., which means that the translation velocity to be used in the Galilei transformation will be newly calculated after every timestep. From past experiences, this may cause numerical flow instabilities within stably stratified, non-turbulent regions.
PA0049	unknown boundary condition: bc_lr = "..."	See parameter bc_lr for allowed values, and appropriately correct your parameter file.
PA0050	unknown boundary condition: bc_ns = "..."	See parameter bs_ns for allowed values, and appropriately correct your parameter file.
PA0051	non-cyclic lateral boundaries do not allow psolver = "..."	Using non-cyclic lateral boundary conditions requires the multigrid method for solving the Poisson equation for the perturbation pressure. You can choose this method by setting the parameter psolver = 'multigrid' or 'multigrid_noopt' .
PA0052	non-cyclic lateral boundaries do not allow momentum_advec = "..."	Using non-cyclic lateral boundary conditions requires to use either the Wicker-Skamarock or the Piacsek-Williams advection scheme for momentum. You can choose one of these methods by setting the parameter momentum_advec.
PA0053	non-cyclic lateral boundaries do not allow scalar_advec = "..."	Using non-cyclic lateral boundary conditions requires to use either the Wicker-Skamarock or Piacsek-Williams advection scheme for scalar quantities. You can choose one of these methods by setting the parameter scalar_advec.
PA0054	non-cyclic lateral boundaries do not allow galilei_transformation = .T.	The Galilei coordinate transformation can only be used with cyclic horizontal boundary conditions. Either use bc_lr = bc_ns = 'cyclic' , or set galilei_transformation = .FALSE. in the parameter file.
PA0055	turbulent_inflow = .T. requires initializing_actions = 'cyclic_fill' or initializing_actions = 'read_restart_data'	Using a turbulent inflow requires that the 3d arrays have to be initialized by cyclically repeated data from a prerun or by restart data. Set parameter initializing_actions appropriately and follow the instructions at turbulent inflow.
PA0056	illegal value for reference_state: "..."	See parameter reference_state for allowed values, and appropriately correct your parameter file.
PA0057	boundary condition bc_e_b changed to "..."	You have set both bc_e_b = (u*)**+neumann, and constant_flux_layer = .FALSE., which is in conflict, since this type of boundary condition requires a constant flux layer. bc_e_b has been set to 'neumann' instead.
PA0058	unknown boundary condition: bc_e_b = "..."	See parameter bc_e_b for allowed values, and appropriately correct your parameter file.
PA0059	unknown boundary condition: bc_p_b = "..."	See parameter bc_p_b for allowed values, and appropriately correct your parameter file.
PA0060	Output at every timestep is wanted ("dt_..." = 0.0). The output interval is set to the fixed timestep dt = "..."s.	Occurs only when netcdf_data_format > 4 and dt /= -1 as an informative message. When using parallel NetCDF the output time interval must be >0. Using dt_do = 0.0 (output at every time step) is equal to setting the output interval to dt.
PA0061	unknown boundary condition: bc_p_t = "..."	See parameter bc_p_t for allowed values, and appropriately correct your parameter file.
PA0062	unknown boundary condition: bc_pt_b = "..."	See parameter bc_pt_b for allowed values, and appropriately correct your parameter file.
PA0063	unknown boundary condition: bc_pt_t = "..."	See parameter bc_pt_t for allowed values, and appropriately correct your parameter file.
PA0064	both, top_momentumflux_u AND top_momentumflux_v must be set	If you want to give a momentum flux as top boundary condition, you have to give both components top_momentumflux_u and top_momentumflux_v at the same time.
PA0065	boundary_condition: bc_pt_b = "..." is not allowed with constant_heatflux = .TRUE.	You have tried to set both, a Dirichlet surface boundary condition for temperature (with bc_pt_b = 'dirichlet' ), and a surface sensible heatflux (with surface_heatflux /= 0.0). Please decide, if you like to give either the surface temperature or the surface heatflux as boundary condition, and omit one of the two parameters in the parameter file.
PA0066	constant_heatflux = .TRUE. is not allowed with pt_surface_initial_change (/=0) = ...	If you give the sensible heatflux as surface boundary condition (using parameter surface_heatflux), you must not specify anything about the surface temperature at the same time (e.g. with parameter pt_surface_initial_change).
PA0067	boundary_condition: bc_pt_t = "..." is not allowed with constant_top_heatflux = .TRUE.	You have tried to set both, a Dirichlet boundary condition for temperature at the top (with bc_pt_t = 'dirichlet' ), and a sensible heatflux at the top (with top_heatflux /= 0.0). Please decide, if you like to give either the temperature or the heatflux as boundary condition at the top, and omit one of the two parameters in the parameter file.
PA0068	unknown boundary condition: bc_sa_t = "..."	See parameter bc_sa_t for allowed values, and appropriately correct your parameter file.
PA0069	boundary condition: bc_sa_t = "..." requires to set top_salinityflux	You have chosen a Neumann boundary condition for salinity at the top (by setting bc_sa_t = 'neumann' ), but you did not provide a salinity flux at the top. Please provide parameter top_salinityflux in the parameter file.
PA0070	boundary condition: bc_sa_t = "..." is not allowed with top_salinityflux /= 0.0'	You have tried to set both, a Dirichlet boundary condition for salinity at the top (with bc_sa_t = 'dirichlet' ), and a salinity flux at the top (with top_salinityflux /= 0.0). Please decide, if you like to give either the salinity or the salinity flux as top boundary condition, and omit one of the two parameters in the parameter file.
PA0071	unknown boundary condition: bc_..._b ="..."	See the respective parameter description in the documentation, and appropriately correct your parameter file.
PA0072	unknown boundary condition: bc_..._t ="..."	See the respective parameter description in the documentation, and appropriately correct your parameter file.
PA0073	boundary condition: bc_..._b = "..." is not allowed with prescribed surface flux	You have tried to set both, a Dirichlet surface boundary condition for humidity / passive scalar (with bc_q_b / bc_s_b = 'dirichlet' ), and a surface latent heatflux / scalar flux (with surface_waterflux / surface_scalarflux /= 0.0). Please decide, if you like to give either the surface humidity / scalar or the surface latent heatflux / scalar flux as boundary condition, and omit one of the two parameters in the parameter file.
PA0074	a prescribed surface flux is not allowed with ..._surface_initial_change (/=0) = ...	If you give the latent heatflux / scalar flux as surface boundary condition (using parameter surface_waterflux / surface_scalarflux), you must not specify anything about the surface humidity / scalar at the same time (e.g. with parameter q_surface_initial_change / s_surface_initial_change).
PA0075	boundary condition: bc_uv_b = "..." is not allowed with constant_flux_layer = .TRUE.	You have tried to set both, a Neumann surface boundary condition for horizontal velocity (with bc_uv_b = 'neumann' ), and a constant flux layer between the surface and the first vertical grid point (with constant_flux_layer = .TRUE.), which are contradicting conditions. Either set constant_flux_layer = .FALSE. or bc_uv_b = 'dirichlet' in the parameter file.
PA0076	unknown boundary condition: bc_uv_b = "..."	See parameter bc_uv_b for allowed values, and appropriately correct your parameter file.
PA0077	unknown boundary condition: bc_uv_t = "..."	See parameter bc_uv_t for allowed values, and appropriately correct your parameter file.
PA0078	rayleigh_damping_factor = ... out of range [0.0,1.0]	Adjust the value of rayleigh_damping_factor in your parameter file to the allowed range.
PA0079	rayleigh_damping_height = ... out of range [0.0, ...]	Adjust the value of rayleigh_damping_height in your parameter file to the allowed range. This error may appear if you have reduced the domain height in your current run (e.g. by reducing the number of vertical grid points) without adjusting the height at which Rayleigh damping shall start.
PA0080	preprocessor switch for fftw is missing	You have set fft_method = 'fftw' , but the fftw-code has not been activated by the corresponding cpp-preprocessor switch. Add '-D__fftw' to the %cpp_options line in the configuration file, touch file fft_xy.f90 (e.g. by executing command "touch trunk/SOURCE/fft_xy.f90" and re-compile.
PA0081	"..." = 0.0 while using a variable timestep and parallel netCDF4 is not allowed.	When using parallel NetCDF output (netcdf_data_format>4) the number of output time levels must be calculated in the beginning of the simulation (see e.g. #PA0384). With a variable time step it is not possible to determine how many output time levels are needed to do an output at every time step. Therefore you have to set a fixed time step dt.
PA0082	number of statistic_regions = ... are not allowed	Adjust parameter statistic_regions in your parameter file to a value >= 0.
PA0083	normalizing_region = ... must be >= 0 and <= ... (value of statistic_regions)	The region number given by normalizing_region must be within the range [0, statistic_regions ]. Adjust normalizing_region appropriately in your parameter file.
PA0084	dt_sort_particles is reset to 0.0 because of cloud_droplets = .TRUE.	Using particles as cloud droplets (cloud_droplets = .TRUE.) requires sorting of the particle array after each timestep. This warning means, that the respective steering parameter (dt_sort_particles) for the resort-interval has been automatically reset to 0.0, in order to force a resort after each timestep. Not available from release 4.0 on.
PA0085	averaging_interval = ... must be <= dt_data_output = ...	The averaging_interval for output data must be smaller or equal to the output interval given by dt_data_output. Adjust settings of these variables appropriately in the parameter file.
PA0086	averaging_interval_pr = ... must be <= dt_dopr = ...	The averaging_interval_pr for profile output data must be smaller or equal to the output interval given by dt_dopr. Adjust settings of these variables appropriately in the parameter file.
PA0087	averaging_interval_sp = ... must be <= dt_dosp = ...	The averaging_interval_sp for spectra output data must be smaller or equal to the output interval given by dt_dosp. Adjust settings of these variables appropriately in the parameter file.
PA0088	dt_averaging_input = ... must be <= averaging_interval = ...	The sampling interval (set by dt_averaging_input) for averaging data must be less or equal to the averaging interval (set by averaging_interval). Adjust settings of these variables appropriately in the parameter file.
PA0089	dt_averaging_input_pr = ... must be <= averaging_interval_pr = ...	The sampling interval (set by dt_averaging_input_pr) for averaging profile data must be less or equal to the averaging interval (set by averaging_interval_pr). Adjust settings of these variables appropriately in the parameter file.
PA0090	precipitation_amount_interval = ... must not be larger than dt_do2d_xy = ...	Choose a value for precipitation_amount_interval smaller than or equal to dt_do2d_xy. Adjust the settings of precipitation_amount_interval appropriately in the parameter file.
PA0091	data_output_pr = ... is not implemented for ocean = .FALSE.	The listed entries in the parameter file under data_output_pr are only avialable for ocean= .T.. There could also be a typo in data_output_pr (an output variable was used that does not exist in PALM).
PA0092	data_output_pr = ... is not implemented for humidity = .FALSE.	The listed entries in the parameter file under data_output_pr are only available for humidity= .T.. There could also be a typo in data_output_pr (an output variable was used that does not exist in PALM).
PA0093	data_output_pr = ... is not implemented for passive_scalar = .FALSE.	The listed entries in the parameter file under data_output_pr are only available for passive_scalar= .T.. There could also be a typo in data_output_pr (an output variable was used that does not exist in PALM).
PA0094	data_output_pr = ... is not implemented for cloud_physics = .FALSE.	The listed entries in the parameter file under data_output_pr are only available for cloud_physics= .T.. There could also be a typo in data_output_pr (an output variable was used that does not exist in PALM).
PA0095	data_output_pr = ... is not implemented for cloud_physics = .FALSE. and humidity = .FALSE.	The listed entries in the parameter file under data_output_pr are only available for cloud_physics= .T. or cloud_physics= .F. and humidity=.T.. There could also be a typo in data_output_pr (an output variable was used that does not exist in PALM).
PA0096	data_output_pr = ... is not implemented for cloud_physics = .FALSE. or cloud_droplets = .FALSE.	The listed entries in the parameter file under data_output_pr are only available for cloud_droplets= .T. or cloud_physics=.T.. There could also be a typo in data_output_pr (an output variable was used that does not exist in PALM).
PA0097	illegal value for data_output_pr or data_output_pr_user = "..."	No matching variable was found for the given identifier in the parameter file. Possible reasons are: (a) a typo in the parameter file, (b) a user-defined variable has not been defined in user_check_data_output.f90, (c) the string length of the user-defined variable exceeds the current limits (see here).
PA0098	illegal value for data_output_pr = "..."	No matching variable was found for the given identifier in the parameter file. This error is most likely related to a typo in the parameter file (a output variable was used that does not exist in PALM.
PA0099	netCDF: netCDF4 parallel output requested but no cpp-directive __netcdf4_parallel given switch back to netCDF4 non-parallel output	netcdf_data_format > 4 has been set. This requires netCDF4 features including parallel file support, which have to be activated by setting the cpp-switches -D__netcdf4 and -D__netcdf4_parallel in the configuration file (%cpp_options). It also requires a netCDF4 library which supports parallel I/O. Set -I, -L and -l options in compile (%fopts) and load (%lopts) options of the configuration file appropriately. Job will be continued with netcdf_data_format = netcdf_data_format - 2.
PA0100	momentum_advec of the restart run differs from momentum_advec of the initial run	The advection scheme for the momentum equations momentum_advec used in the restart run differs from the advection scheme used in the corresponding initial run. The advection scheme that is used in a restart run must be the same as the one that was used in the initial run.
PA0101	scalar_advec of the restart run differs from scalar_advec of the initial run	The advection scheme for scalar quantities scalar_advec used in the restart run differs from the advection scheme used in the corresponding initial run. The advection scheme that is used in a restart run must be the same as the one that was used in the initial run.
PA0102	number of output quantities given by data_output and data_output_user exceeds the limit of 500	The total number of output quantities listed in data_output and data_output_user exceeds the maximum of 500. To increase this limit, the standard PALM code has to be modified. In case you have little experience with the PALM code use a trouble ticket for a query to increase the maximum output number.
PA0103	output of "e" requires constant_diffusion = .FALSE.	Output of the subgrid TKE e listed in the parameter file under data_output or data_output_masks is only available for constant diffusion= .F..
PA0104	output of "..." requires a "particles_par"-NAMELIST in the parameter file (PARIN)	Output of the particle concentration pc and/or particle radius pr listed in the parameter file under data_output or data_output_masks is only available in case the particles_par namelist ist set in the parameter file
PA0105	output of "..." requires humidity = .TRUE.	Output of humidity (q and/or qv) listed in the parameter file under data_output or data_output_masks is only available for humidity= .T..
PA0106	output of "ql" requires cloud_physics = .TRUE. or cloud_droplets = .TRUE.	Output of liquid water content ql listed in the parameter file under data_output or data_output_masks is only available for cloud_physics= .T. or cloud_droplets= .T..

Within the PALM code (in init_cloud_physics), the hydrostatic pressure profile is calculated for a neutrally stratified temperature profile t(z) = t_surface-g/c_p*z(k). If the height of the model domain is too large, the absolute temperature will become negative, which is not allowed. This error usually appears when both grid stretching is switched on and too many grid points along z are used. Try to reduce the number of grid points (nz), switch on the grid stretching at larger heights (see dz_stretch_level) or reduce the grid stretching factor (dz_stretch_factor).
PA0143	k=... j=... i=... ql_c=... part(...)%wf=... delta_r=...	This error occurs due to a spurious interaction of the production and depletion of supersaturations if the applied time step is too large. Please re-run the simulation with a shorter time step.

PA0159	no term for component "..."	Routine buoyancy was called for the u/w-component while an inclined surface was used. In case of an inclined surface (see alpha_surface) the buoyancy term appears in the equation of motion of the w-component and u-component. There is no buoyancy term implemented for the v-component as the surface can only be inclined in x-direction and no buoyancy term is required for the v-component.
PA0160	non-cyclic lateral boundaries along x do not allow calculation of spectra along x	In case of non-cyclic conditions spectra would be largely affected by the non-cyclic lateral boundaries since this conflicts with the basic assumption used for the FFT that the spatial extention in the x and y-direction are infinitely large.

PA0187	fft method "system-specific" currently does not work on NEC	Usage of system-specific fft has been switched on with parameter fft_method, but the relevant part of the PALM code where the NEC-fft-library calls (e.g. DZFFT or DZFFTM) are used contains bugs which still require to be solved. You may submit a trouble ticket and ask for help.
PA0188	no system-specific fft-call available	You have set fft_method = system-specific (this is the default, so you may have not explicitly set it). In this case you additionally have to set the cpp-preprocessor switches -D__ibm, -D__nec, or -D__cuda_fft to specify the fft-library that you like to use. Calls to IBM/NEC-libraries and the CUDA-fft-library are the only one implemented so far in the PALM code. Probably you forgot to set such a switch. Set the switch and do not forget to recompile the code.
PA0189	fft method "..." not available	See fft_method for the availabe methods that are implemented in PALM and modify the inipar-parameter fft_method in your NAMELIST file appropriately.

PA0202	grid anisotropy exceeds threshold given by only local horizontal reduction of near_wall mixing length l_wall starting from height level k = ... .	This is just a warning. It tells you that during the initialization of the near-wall mixing length l_wall which is important for the turbulence closure the grid-dependent mixing length l_grid=Δ = (Δx Δy Δz)1/3 becomes relatively large. This might result in untrustworthy result. The reason for a large value of l_grid is the grid anisotropy. To avoid this message it is probable that you have to change your settings for inipar or dz_stretch_factor.

PA0235	mg_switch_to_pe0_level out of range and reset to default (=0)
PA0236	grid coarsening on subdomain level cannot be performed	The multigrid pressure solver halfs the number of grid points in each direction to get coarser grid levels. This is done for the subdomains on each PE until one of the directions cannot be divided by 2 without rest. If this is the case, the coarsest grid level of each subdomain are gathered on each PE for further coarsening. Before gathering, the coarsening must be done for the subdomain at least one time. You get this error messages for example with the following combination: nx = 60, ny = 60, nz = 60, npex = 4, npey = 2. With this combination, the subdomain on each PE has the size: nx = 15, ny = 30, nz = 60. The number of grid points in the x-direction of the subdomain cannot be divided by 2 and no coarsening is possible for the subdomains in this example. To avoid this error ensure that the number of grid points in each direction can be divided by 2 without rest on the subdomain of an PE at least one time. Therefor vary the number of grid points for the direction which does not fit by changing nx , ny or nz or adjust the number of processors by modifying the parameters npex or npey in order to get other subdomain sizes. In the example given above, you can avoid the error by changing nx or npex. For example setting nx = 64 leads to a subdomain of nx = 16, ny = 30, nz = 60. All numbers are now divisible by 2 without rest and the first coarser grid on the subdomain is then: nx = 8, ny = 15, nz = 30.
PA0237	multigrid gather/scatter impossible in non parallel mode	You are using the multigrid-solver and are running PALM in non-parallel mode (i.e. on a single processor core), but you have set a multigrid level (using parameter mg_switch_to_pe0_level) from where on data shall be collected on core 0 in order to allow for a further coarsening of the grid. Obviously, this does not make sense if only one core is used. Remove this parameter from your NAMELIST-file or set it to value -1 to switch of collection.
PA0238	more than 10 multigrid levels	You have selected the multigrid Poisson-solver (psolver = "multigrid") and a numerical grid which allows for more than 10 coarsening levels. This may happen for very large grids where the grid point numbers along x,y,z are given by 2n with n>10. The smallest grid which may cause this error would have 20483 points. However, depending on the chosen domain decomposition, much larger grids might be possible. Choose a different number of grid points to circumvent this problem.

The time step is determined according to the CFL criterion to assure a stable numerical solution. This error message means that the required minimum time step, determined from the three velocity components, is several orders of magnitude smaller than dt_max. Due to the large number of complex reasons it should be noted that this list is not complete, but it is intended to give general hints how to proceed in case of this error message. First, check for a unrealistic value of dt_max in the NAMELIST file. Moreover, this error message may indicate for unrealistic settings of e.g. boundary conditions or other NAMELIST parameters. For very small vertical grid spacing dz this error might also occur if roughness_length >= dz. Please also check if this error appears if you run without USERCODE. To compile and run the PALM and USERCODE with DEBUG-options might also give sometimes valuable hints.

It means that the Rosenbrock method, used for integrating the stiff droplet growth equation, was unable to find an internal timestep which gives a sufficiently small truncation error within 40 tries. So far, this problem has not appeared. It might happen if some of the cloud physics parameters, which determine the growth by condensation, are given unrealistic values or if the droplet radius is extremely small.
PA0348	zero stepsize in Rosenbrock method	Error may appear if curvature and solution effects are included in the calculation of droplet growth by condensation (see curvature_solution effects. It means that within the Rosenbrock method, used for integrating the stiff droplet growth equation, the internal timestep has become zero, so that the integration cannot be performed.

NC****	**** contains numbers in the range from 1-521	Internally, PALM calls the netCDF function NF90_STRERROR which returns an error message string provided by netCDF. Hence, no exact assignment between PALM error number and netCDF error string can be given. Most of the netCDF errors should never appear if the default code is used. The following list gives errors which may be caused by wrong steering or errors due to problems in the user interface.
NC0079	String match to name in use	A netCDF variable name has been used twice. Possible reasons: a variable in the parameter file has been listed twice (e.g. in data_output) or a variable name that has been defined in the user interface is already used by PALM.
NC0253	Name contains illegal characters	netCDF variable names consist of arbitrary sequences of alphanumeric characters. These names are e.g. assigned by the user in the user-interface to variables dots_label or dopr_label. Due to the netCDF convention, they must not start with a digit. Also, usage of / as special character is not allowed. Older netCDF versions (before 3.6.3) have further restrictions on special characters. Please check if your string settings in the user-interface follow the above rules.
