HYSPLIT not proceeding when using EMITIMES

[dmbakker]

I want to increase the number of emission points, using EMITIMES. While going through the documentation and following the instructions of the Workshop when using the example of the Volcano emission, everything works fine and the outputs are as per documentation but when I make changes to the EMITIMES manually to allow for multiple emissions HYSPLIT does not proceed and stops with an error message (see MESSAGE). The EMITIMES file is similar to the one used in the example. I have included the relevant files. Can anyone shed some light on this? Thank you for your time.

The EMITIMES file you attached is the same one from the tutorial. The dates don't match up with your CONTROL file.

I found out that the CONTROL file should have the same number of emission sources/events as listed in the EMITIMES. The EMITIMES file is setup in the Advanced section of the GUI, while the CONTROL files is build in the Setup section. While the EMITIMES overrides other inputs, the number of emission locations set in the Setup section should match the number of emission events in the EMITIMES because trying to manually alter the CONTROL file and setting the number of emission events in that way doesn't work because the moment HYPLIT is run a new CONTROL file is generated.
