[MITgcm-support] Monitor statistics are all zeros except time and vorticity

[Xiangming Zeng]

Hi Jean-Michel and Dustin,

Thank you for all your help. Attached is my data file.
As Jean-Michel suggested, I checked the hFacC file, and all the values of
that file are zeros. That's why all the output values are zeros. After
checking my data file, I found I made a stupid mistake about the vertical
coordinate setting. In order to avoid the "too SMALL rStarFacW" error, I
set hFacMin to be 2.5. According to the manual, it should be less or equal
to 1, right? After changing hFacMin to 0.2 and HfacminDr to 5, I got the
nonzero outputs. Thanks again for all your help.
I'm a beginner of MITgcm. There must be some inappropriate settings in my
data file. I'd appreciate some comments on my settings. Thank you so much.

All the best,
Xiangming
