Maximum amount of ARL files in HYSPLIT?

Post by Imogen »

Is there a maximum amount of ARL files that can be loaded into HYSPLIT? We're using 0.75 resolution data and anything above about 8 ARL files tends to crash out...is there any way to get around this?
Thanks

The maximum number of ARL files is 12. However, you can concatenate files that are consecutive in time (using the cat command in linux or type command for windows) to reduce the number of files.
for instance:
cat FILEARL1 > FILEARL
cat FILEARL2 >> FILEARL
cat FILEARL3 >> FILEARL
