Initial gradient norm, Gnorm = NaN

#1 Unread post by wavewatch »

Hi, everyone!

When I run my IS4D-Var model, I got the error at the first inner loop. The log file shows:
……
<<<< Descent Algorithm >>>>

(001,000): Initial gradient norm, Gnorm = NaN
……
TLM: GET_STATE - Read state initial conditions, t = 1 00:00:00
(Grid 01, File: wc13_itl.nc, Rec=0001, Index=1)
- free-surface
(Min = NaN Max = NaN )
- free-surface, open boundaries
(Min = NaN Max = NaN )
- vertically integrated u-momentum component
(Min = 0.00000000E+00 Max = 0.00000000E+00)
- vertically integrated u-momentum component, open boundaries

I don’t know why the initial gradient norms is NaN.
I attached my log file for your convenience.
Thank you for your help.

Hi,
I'm wondering if you found the solution to this problem?
I'm having the same error.
Thanks
