Question:
I am trying to calculate trajectories using my own MM5 output files. I compiled the mm5toarl routine and created the arl formatted files compatible with HYSPLIT, but it still doesn’t work. I used the chk_file program and there is an error with the header. Should I change something in the mm5toarl routine?
Answer:
You need to make sure that your compilation included switches to insure that file record lengths were set in bytes, and that binary files are treated as either little-endian or big-endian, as appropriate to the platform on which you ran MM5.
