Cmaq2camx error while converting ICON file

CMAQ-POST
1

Greetings,

I am a user of the “cmaq2camx” program. I am facing a problem while converting the initial condition file (ICON).

My initial condition file is in NetCDF format and I believe it is a CMAQ output. I am trying to convert it to CAMx ready binary format. However, I receive an error that says:

" *** ERROR ABORT in subroutine CMAQ2UAM
Time step of CMAQICON must be 0"

I checked the cmaq2uam.f file and I think the problem is related to the “TSTEP” global attribute in the NetCDF ICON file but I am not sure about it. The “TSTEP” global attribute in the file is 10000, I changed it to 0 in the ICON file and now I receive another error saying:

"

—>> WARNING in subroutine RDTFLAG
Time step not available in file INFILE for variable CXO3
M3WARN: DTBUF 0:00:00 March 29, 2018(2018088:000000)
"
(Same for every variable)

I was wondering if you have any suggestions or comment on this problem?

Thank you in advance,
Maryam

If youi will check the latest version of this program on Gitub, https://github.com/epa-kpc/O3PM-PSDNSR/blob/master/NNSR/preprocess/cmaq2camx/src/cmaq2uam.f you will find that it does not require a TSTEP=0.

By the way, direct editing of I/O API files is NOT SUPPORTED: it will break internal data-structures and checks, just as you have done in this case.
