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

[Dustin Carroll]

Great, easy fix. Yes, hFacMin <= 1. I tend to use hFacMin ~ 0.2 for rough topography. If you make the cells too "thin" it can lead to vertical CFL violations.

Cheers,
Dustin

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.
