It is common practice in non parallel Fortran codes to terminate the program by calling a Fortran STOP in case a runtime error is detected. In MPI-parallelised codes it is strongly recommended to call MPI_Abort instead to ensure that all parallel processes are stopped and thus to avoid non-defined termination of the parallel program. For coupled application, the PSMILe provides a prism_abort call which guarantees a clean and well-defined shut down of the coupled model. We recommend to use prism_abort instead of a Fortran STOP or a MPI_Abort.
