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?
