Hi Simon, I can reproduce this problem. I understand that the unit is unitless from the physics point of view, but the IDV does not see it that way. rhscrn tscrn and u all have units associated with them which makes the IDV/ViSAD blow up. I am still looking into a solution / workaround, but that is where I am at. One way to kludge it, maybe, is to make rhscrn tscrn and u all the same unit, say temperature. -Julien > Hi Julien, > > I've uploaded the file along with the formula that has the parameter names > contained in the data so all you have to do is add the formula.
