Hi Matt,
    The error message indicates that some variables in this formula is 2D and 
some are 3D. You probably need to wrap those 3D with a grid system fuction 
"make2D(slice)". For example, the surface temperature might be a variable like: 
T(time=10, z=1, y=60, x=100), and this function will convert it to T(time=10, 
y=60, x=100).
