CESM1.0.5 Error: mismatch of input dimension

[liuxiaoqing]

I created a cloned case and was trying to run the case on a new machine. The previous case was successfully run on an old and retired machine. The case was built successfully, but I got an error in the model run. The error is:

Reading restart dataset

check_dim ERROR: mismatch of input dimension 5228 with expected value

5663 for variable gridcell

The attached are the log files. May I ask for your help?

I think a purely cloned case would have worked. After cloning, did you change something in the new case? The error message suggests that you may have changed the fsurdat, or that maybe the restart file isn't from the original simulation. You may get around this error by setting use_init_interp = .true. which performs an interpolation when there is a mismatch in the dimensions.
