Thanks again for your feedback, Arango. Those animations were generated from a serial run that finished without apparent blow up. The error message was actually from a debug run, which I now realize was in barotropic mode by default. So I now see that the error message is not related to the numerical anomalies in temperature. 
On the other hand, when I run the same simulation using MPI with only one processor, the run quickly blew up within the first few time steps as indicated in the on-screen output below. When I use more than more processor, the blow up still happened but later. I think those numerical anomalies in temperature from the serial run are likely related to the cause of the blow up when using MPI. 
Maybe this is a telltale sign that the two-way nested grids were not set up properly?
