Error running latest version on Casper

[mbranson]

Running a straightforward CAM vs CAM comparison with the latest version of the ADF code. After many hours, it looks like it finally finished computing the variable climatologies and time series, but then it hits this error:

Making comparison table...
... Comparison table has been generated successfully
...AMWG variable table(s) have been generated successfully.

@mbranson Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We have seen this before and I'm working to get an updated conda env for for the ADF. Since you're on casper, can you activate npl-2024a and try running the ADF again?

[mbranson]

Hi Justin. Using npl-2024a solved the problem. I've got some nice sets of plots now. Thanks for your help!

Glad that helped, thanks for the update and for using the ADF!
