Here are the steps to process:
-
Download WACCM outputs from https://www.acom.ucar.edu/waccm/DATA/.
Download CAM-Chem outputs from CAM-Chem Download. -
Run NCF2IOAPI to convert to the Models3/IOAPI format.
-
Run MOZART2CAMX to generate CAMx or CMAQ IC/BCs.
Choose/compile the executable with the appropriate speciation mappings

I am doing step 2 when I execute INFILE=camchem-20230515081556321601.nc ./NCF2IOAPI, some error messages come up, for example:

Why is that? Do these errors matter?
