HYSPLIT Forum: hysplitbbs.arl.noaa.gov

I am trying to run HYSPLIT4 in batch mode on my mac OS10.6.8
I wrote a fortran program, which generates control files and calls hyts_std
HYSPLIT4 starts but does not seem to find CONTROL. Instead it asks for manual inputs
I suspect it is a directory problem but it does not even seem to work if I put all files including the compiled fortran code into the exec directory where HYSPLIT4 resides.
Thanks in advance for any help

It seems you are running the model in a directory that does not have a CONTROL file. In general we suggest you run the model within the working directory. In your case you will have to call the hycs_std model by using ../exec/hycs_std.
You also need to have the ASCDATA.CFG file in the same directory you are running the model.
