hycs_std

Post by rotendd »

The HYSPLIT User's Guide mentions the "hycs_std" executable file but there are others with similar names in the "exec" directory. I would like to run the HYSPLIT model directly from the "hycs_std" executable while incorporating SETUP.CFG/CONC.CFG, ASCDATA.CFG, and EMITIMES. All of these are in the root directory along with any other required files. Will "hycs_std" incorporate all of them or do I need to use an alternative executable file?

Thanks!

I would recommend calling the executable from the working directory.
../exec/hycs_std

I appreciate the recommendation but in my situation, it would be very helpful for me to have all of these file in a common directory (the hycs_std file included). Would this still work as expected?

Yes, you could move all the files, including the executable (hycs_std), into the same directory and work from there.

Great! This will speed up my work! I am running into a bit of a problem. In the ASCDATA.CFG file, I have the correct path to the bdyfiles0p5 directory but I keep getting the following error in the MESSAGE file:
------------- Start computation messages -------------------
NOTICE advrng: (kg ,xyr,xy1) - 1 39 39 320 182
NOTICE metpos: (mtime,ftime) - 59352480 0
NOTICE metpos: (mtime,ftime) - 59352660 0

NOTICE sfcinp: reading ASCDATA.CFG
*ERROR* sfcinp: decoding error LANDUSE.ASC
Fixed record length not consistentr: EOL must be LF or CR/LF
Try converting /bdyfiles/*.ASC files into DOS or UNIX formats
I do not know if there is an issue with the LANDUSE.ASC file or if I have setup something incorrectly. I have double checked the path in the ASCDATA.CFG file. I can post any additional files you may need.

Thanks again!

Please try setting up the path to the bdyfiles directory and see if that solves your problem.

Ah! It turns out that I had an incorrect parameter in my ASCDATA.CFG file that I did not notice. It appears to correctly reading the body files now.

Occasionally, I get a warning "metinp". I believe some data are missing from the bdyfiles0p5 files? I stumbled upon a forum post addressing this some time ago but I can no longer find it. When I get this error, the HYSPLIT model continues to run. How does HYSPLIT deal with "missing" data from the bdyfiles during a run?

The particular warning that I am referring to is not in my WARNING file right now. I will upload it when it happens again.

Thanks!
