Scott,

dv/v and dp/p are the relative magnitude of velocity and pressure
correction between the Uzawa iterations. They are always 0 for the first
iteration. Nothing to worry about them.

Your model seems to converge very well at step 0 and 1. Does the
problematic geoid occur at these time steps? If yes, what is the min/max
of your velocity solution at these time steps? (A convenient GMT command
"minmax -H2 *velo*" can query the min/max of all velo files.) If not,
can you check the convergence history around the problematic time step?
