My full RT suite reports FAILED: RUN DID NOT COMPLETE -- TEST 'control_p8_ugwpv1_tempo_aerosol_hail_intel' [, ]( MB), but this case does not contain wave model. Should I rerun the RT tests?

You can push the logs as-is, rerun that specific test only, and let us know the results. Sometimes the RTs can be finicky. I think @FernandoAndrade-NOAA was reporting an out-of-memory error for that one on Ursa recently, but it eventually passed. If you don't get it to pass on a rerun, we can look into it.

@gspetro-NOAA I rerun the control_p8_ugwpv1_tempo_aerosol_hail case and it successes.
