concplot GIS output for more than 100 time periods

Post by sampls »

Hi there!

I have encountered an issue when outputting GIS files from a HYSPLIT run. My HYSPLIT run contains 272 time periods, but only 99 GIS files will save as individual files and the rest of the time periods end up continuously overwriting a file named 'GIS_0500_ps_**'. If I change the concplot settings to output time periods 100-199, then only the 'GIS_0500_ps_**' files are created and continuously overwritten. Is there a way to change the output name of the GIS file so I can have more than 99 GIS files? If not, how should I retrieve GIS files for all 272 time periods in this HYSPLIT run?

I am running HYSPLIT from the command line using Linux. I have attached the .bin file I am using, the .sh file I am using to run concplot, and a screenshot of the files that are output from running the .sh file. Thanks in advance for the help

You might want to upgrade your HYSPLIT installation. The issue you described was addressed in October 2021. HYSPLIT version 5.2 or later will work.

Thank you for the info. I have downloaded the precompiled HYSPLIT version 5.2.3, but I am still running into the same issue using ascii2shp, both when I use .bin files from the previous version of HYSPLIT I had installed and from the new version of HYSPLIT. Is there something I'm still missing?
