Frequently in batch mode my HYSPLIT4 Last Changed Rev: 460 Last Changed Date: 2013-04-19 09:36:19 -0400 (Fri, 19 Apr 2013)
does not calculate the full length of back trajectories.
Instead of -240 hours less than -100 hours are calculated without indicating any error messages. I generously load met fields that should cover more than the intended time span.

Please download the latest version of the model and try again.

Thanks for the suggestion
Does the latest version of HYSPLIT run under OS10.6.8?
J

It should run

Thanks, Ariel,
now HYSPLIT does not allow me to download a new version even though I am a registered user
Sigh!

You should be able to download the latest registered or trial version here:

http://www.ready.noaa.gov/hyreg/HYSPLIT_applehysp.php

If your password does not work, you can reset it at:
http://www.ready.noaa.gov/HYSPLIT_register.php

I tried my "user name": 3236 several times + password
even changed the password
no way

Please try the trial version.

Hi
I did manage to download the latest trial version of HYSPLIT4
To run it in batch mode for many trajectories I had written FORTRAN code that worked so far but not with the new version
The primary error message is: /Applications/Hysplit4/exec/runhysplit: line 4: 54863 Segmentation fault ./hyts_std > LOGRUN
In my FORTRAN code I could not call HYTS STD directly. Instead I called a shell script that does that.
Then I had put in a loop to wait until HYSPLIT had completed one job:
C CALL SHELL SCRIPT runhysplit THAT STARTS HYTS_STD
CALL SYSTEM ('/Applications/Hysplit4/exec/runhysplit')
C CHECK LOG FILE UNTIL HYTS_STD IS DONE
DO 900 IWAIT = 1, 1000000
OPEN (UNIT=9,FILE='/Applications/Hysplit4/exec/LOGRUN',
1 POSITION=APPEND)
BACKSPACE 9
READ (9,*) COMPLETE
IF (COMPLETE .NE. CTEXT) GOTO 900
CLOSE (9)
GOTO 990
900 CONTINUE
PRINT*, 'HYSPLIT4 DID NOT COMPLETE IN TIME:'
PRINT*, ICASE, LAT, LON, HEIGHT, IYT, IMT, IDT, IHT, RUNTIME
GOTO 999
990 PRINT*, ICASE, LAT, LON, HEIGHT, IYT, IMT, IDT, IHT, RUNTIME
It seems that the secondary error message
? FORTRAN Runtime Error:
? Attempt to read past end of file
? READ(UNIT=9,...
is related to the primary one.
Most grateful for any suggestions
