Hello！I am learning to use CMAQ5.3.3. The area I studied was a province in China.The mcip we used was generated by the built-in run\_mcip.csh, and icbc was generated by mozart2camx\_v3.2.1. Since there were multiple CCTM scripts in version 5.3.3, we chose run\_cctm\_Bench\_2016\_12SE1.csh. Changes are made based on this script, but when running this script, the operation stopped within seconds, as follows: ```auto Start Model Run At Fri Feb 2 23:31:25 CST 2024 Compiler is set to intel Working Directory is /data/home/panting/CMAQ/CMAQ-main/CCTM/scripts Build Directory is /data/home/panting/CMAQ/CMAQ-main/CCTM/scripts/BLD_CCTM_v533_intel Output Directory is /data/home/panting/CMAQ/CMAQ-main/data/output_CCTM_v533_intel_230701 Log Directory is /data/home/panting/CMAQ/CMAQ-main/data/output_CCTM_v533_intel_230701/LOGS Executable Name is CCTM_v533.exe ---CMAQ EXECUTION ID: CMAQ_CCTMv533_panting_20240202_153125_282105050 --- Set up input and output files for Day 2023-07-01.

When choosing a script to run, should I choose among the following scripts based on the study area, or just randomly select one and make changes? ![cctm](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/cmas/original/2X/e/ef6b24b1ee0d5e1b2e3c160a6d035864913d3bc4.png) ---

Hi, Thank you for sharing your main log file and one of the per-processor log (CTM\_LOG\_030\*) files. The following error message in the main log file indicates that the per- processor 13 will have written out additional error messages. ```auto process 13 ``` Please review the CTM\_LOG\_013\* file, and/or use grep to look for an error message. Example grep command: ```auto grep -i error CTM_LOG* ``` ---

Thank you for your patience! I looked at CTM\_LOG\_013\* file: [CTM\_LOG\_013.v533\_intel\_230701\_20230701.txt](https://forum.cmascenter.org/uploads/short-url/qH9LjDwvbzs1gqoUu1f0xz7LKN5.txt) (6.4 KB) The problem I found was that I used the script run\_cctm\_Bench\_2016\_12SE1.csh written for the benchmark test data to replace the paths of the mcip, icon, bcon and emis files with our own data paths, but the other files mentioned in the script were ignored. For example, land, lightning, etc. : ![24](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/cmas/original/2X/5/534c0500f9c4d4ad4d386c4232b562edae36a248.png) Therefore, when executing this script, the file could not be opened. I tried to download and use the official test data except for the four files generated by myself, but there was a file mismatch problem, as follows: ![2.4](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/cmas/original/2X/e/ea2ae35b1ef13bfcb5f8021f5b783f1d288ea35b.png) To summarize, my problem now is that files mentioned in the script that I didn’t generate myself won’t open at run time if I don’t make any changes (and don’t comment them out), but if I use benchmark test data to fill in the missing files,It will not match the mcip, icbc and emis files I generated by myself. What is the correct way to deal with it?
