Greetings RegCMers,

I would like to run an experiment with the gas chemistry option (CBMZ). After fixing some minors problems I had I am left with a problem in the chemical boundaries conditions. Everything else in the input files seems to be created normally (terrain, sst, icbc, emcre_grid, inter_emissions (using IIASA)) but in the last step where I run the script of chem_icbc something is not created correctly because when I check the netcdf file in the input folder (*CHBC*.nc) I can see that it has zero timesteps.

ncdump -h input/CBMZrun_CHBC.2003090100.nc
netcdf CBMZrun_CHBC.2003090100 {
dimensions:
   jx = 136 ;
   iy = 124 ;
   kz = 18 ;
   time = UNLIMITED ; // (0 currently)

And when I try to run the model I get the following error as expected.

HVREAD: TUVGRID

Opening ch. emission file input/CBMZrun_CHEMISS.nc
CHE_EMISS: Reading record          165

I have downloaded again the average mean mz4 global files from the OXIGLOB folder ( mz4_avg_1999-2009_**.nc) without any luck. Am I missing something? Does anyone encounter a similar problem? I am attaching the *.in file in case anyone wants to experiment on this. Thank you very much in advance!

Best wishes,
