A UM dump contains N+1 levels for exner on rho levels which lfric cannot handle, so the top level needs to be stripped off on ingestion.

Research direction

Start by locating the UM dump ingestion path and the handling of Exner values on rho levels. Check how the input levels are represented and verify that ingestion removes the top N+1 level, allowing the resulting dump to be handled by LFRic without extra levels.
