Description
Error messages are printed to standard output if either the 470nm or the 870nm channel (or both) are missing in GOCART2G_GridComp.rc:
wavelength of 4.7000000E-07 is an invalid value.
wavelength of 8.7000001E-07 is an invalid value.
The errors are not warranted since these wavelength channels are used to compute optional diagnostics (Angstrom exponent).

Research direction
Start by locating the code that reads GOCART2G_GridComp.rc and validates the 470nm and 870nm wavelengths. Confirm the behavior when either optional channel is absent; done means those cases no longer print invalid-value errors while the optional diagnostics remain handled correctly.
