Backward run won't work with trajectory restart.

[leonardozm]

Hello there, I am trying to run a month's worth of 10-day backward trajectories. There are around 2500 start points in South America in the attached CONTROL file:

CONTROL1997jan.txt

Model configurations.

If I open up the GUI, retrieve the CONTROL file and run the model, it works fine.
However, if I go to the Advanced menu and change the SETUP.CFG (namelist) file, it won't work. I'm trying to set up things like KHMAX=240 (particles last ten days), NSTR=6 (generate particles at all the 2500 locations every 6 hours) and tm_sphu=1 (tell me the specific humidity at every endpoint). There's the SETUP.CFG file:

I had to change the extensions to .txt otherwise it wouldn't attach here. If someone would test the files, you'd have to change SETUP back to .CFG, remove the 1997jan part from CONTROL and leave it extensionless.
Can someone help me? I'm running the latest unregistered version of HYSPLIT on a Windows 8 computer.

Your nstr in your setup.cfg file is set to 0. It should set to 6.

Yeah, sorry, I posted the wrong SETUP file.
However, if I change NSTR to 6, what happens is what I explained in the former post. Starting the model from the GUI and retrieving those advanced configurations, it locks up, doesn't show the "Percent complete" messages. However, if I try the standard settings, it runs.

Are you getting any message in the screen? Maybe it is taking some time to make the calculation.
You could also try to run the model from the command line with the setup.cfg that you created. Please go to the working directory and run ..\exec\hyts_std.exe

From the command line I am also getting some strange responses. If I try to run it, the system jams and I get a Windows message:

hyts_std.exe has stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

Now, if I try a second time from the command line, not making ANY change, I get this error:

Try making the run with the following settings in the setup.cfg file:
&SETUP
tratio = 0.75,
mgmin = 10,
khmax = 0,
kmixd = 0,
kmsl = 0,
nstr = 0,
mhrs = 0,
nver = 0,
tout = 180,
tm_tpot = 0,
tm_tamb = 0,
tm_rain = 0,
tm_mixd = 0,
tm_relh = 0,
tm_sphu = 1,
tm_mixr = 0,
tm_dswf = 0,
tm_terr = 0,
dxf = 1.0,
dyf = 1.0,
dzf = 0.01,
/

let me know if you still have the error.
