Hello everyone,
I use hysplit.v5.2.0_RHEL8.5 and try to convert CFS data grib2 files to ARL format using the attached script.
The files are created, but I get this error during run of hysplit:

Model started ...
HYSPLIT - Initialization
HYSPLIT version: hysplit.v5.2.0
Last Changed Date: 2022-01-16
NOTICE: using namelist file SETUP.CFG
ERROR metset: meteorological data time interval varies. Check input meteo file.
Changed from 0 min to 360 min
At day/hr 1 6
STOP 23

and when check the file, this is the error:

STOP 23
STOP 23
while executing
"exec $exec_dir/chk_file <<$input >chkfile.txt"
(procedure "run_chkfile" line 13)
invoked from within

invoked from within
"uplevel #0 [list $w invoke]"
(procedure "tk::ButtonUp" line 22)
invoked from within
"tk::ButtonUp .metfile.bot.save"
(command bound to event)


Could you help me, please?
Thank you in advance.

The HYSPLIT error message you saw is the same as viewtopic.php?f=14&t=2718. Please check the date time interval of your files converted for HYSPLIT.
