Ray: I looked at the TSDYN2 0,0,9 history and the problem is that o2+ goes negative at k=44 so the processor is dying trying to log extrapolate the upper boundary. (was it o2+ you pointed out a negative upper boundary in the plots of the 0,0,6 history?). The 0,0,6 history still runs ok, with apparently no negative values of o2+ coming out of the history (I guess an extrapolation of positive values could still make a negative upper boundary that would show on the vertical slices) Relevant output listings are in /sting/d/foster/timesproc/o2p.006.out and o2p.009.out (the former is a large file) --Ben
