concplot.ps not found, check working directory for other output files

Post by tstamoul »

Hello, I am a new Hysplit user.

I run concentration. In the “set up run” the only thing I change is starting time and setup starting locations. I am using gdas data.
The model runs perfectly but I am getting this message after execute display:
“concplot.ps not found, check working directory for other output files”

This is the control file:
10 05 02 00

Any suggestions?

The first thing to check is did you run the concentration display program either from the GUI (Concentration/Display/Concentration/Contours)?

The second thing to check is to look in the /working directory and see if the concplot.ps file is there. If it is, there might be an issue with the gsview program installation to view the file.

1. the GUI (Concentration/Display/Concentration/Contours)

2. the concplot.ps file is missing from the working directory

Please check you MESSAGE file to see if the model run to completion. Also, check if in the working directory you have a file named cdump.

1. cdump file exists
2. the model run 100%

I am sending you the message file and a picture showing the files inside working directory.

OK, the reason why you are not getting a concplot.ps is that your concentration grid is set from the surface up to 100 m (which is set 2 lines below cdump in the CONTROL file) and your emission starts at 1651.0 m. So, no particles enter the concentration grid. Please add another layer to the concentration grid, say from 100 to 2000 m, and see if that solves your problem.
