Suspected cause

The error is happening because streamflow_obs_diag.f90 has a local max_defined_types that is undefined

86 integer :: max_defined_types_of_obs

There is

 550     max_defined_types_of_obs = lookup_flavor(flavor)

but this is in an if statement that is not entered.

So when you get to the netcdf writing:

max_defined_types_of_obs           0 NF90_UNLIMITED           0

so for this line:

call nc_check(nf90_def_dim(ncid=ncid, &
          name='obstypes', len=max_defined_types_of_obs, dimid=TypesDimID), &
          'WriteNetCDF', 'types:def_dim '//trim(fname))

Netcdf thinks you are defining the unlimited dimension again.

The 3D sphere obs_diag obs_kind_mod::max_defined_types_of_obs. I'm not sure at the moment why streamflow_obs_diag has a local max_defined_types_of_obs

"! All streamflow observations are identity observations at this point" is not true right?

         ! Check to see if it is an identity observation.
-         ! All streamflow observations are identity observations at this point
         if (flavor < 0) then

            ! Not every model location has a streamflow observation, but the
            ! location can be anywhere in the model state, so the 'flavor' can
            ! be quite large. We cannot allocate that much space, so we create
            ! a lookup array  ....

-           max_defined_types_of_obs = lookup_flavor(flavor)  !HK max_defined_types_of_obs  is unset for real obs.

            if (flavor > num_obs_types) then
               write(string1,*)'unsupported identity observation ',-1*flavor
               write(string2,*)'Increase "num_obs_types" and recompile.'
               call error_handler(E_ERR, 'obs_diag', string1, source, text2=string2)
            endif

            obsname = 'STREAM_FLOW'
            Nidentity = Nidentity + 1
         endif
