Hi,

My trajectory calculation script works fine for 3 Meteorological files however when I change it to 4 Meteorological files it gives me the following output

WARNING metset: Old format meteo data grid 4 1
At line 126 of metold.f
Fortan runtime error: Bad value during integer read

I've check the meteo data files individually and they work fine. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong would be helpful.

The contents of CONTROL file which is generated is :

98 02 01 23 15

74.97 -156.65 400

The data set looks to be corrupted. What meteorological data are you using? Try downloading the files again, making sure that you download them as "binary", and try again.

I'm using ERA Interim Reanalysis data. If the data set is corrupted then it shouldn't run when I tested it with one of these datasets each.
