As the simulation is set in July and August 2003, launch the program again using INCA.08
this time and 78 (hourly) time steps in August.
You will obtain boundary conditions for 14 species.

Launching the Simulation
Modifying the Configuration Files
You should check and modify config/castor.cfg if necessary. You have to check the
paths (in particular check that the data and saver file are config/castor-data.cfg and
config/castor-saver.cfg) and to make sure that the date for the simulation is 2003-07-30
(date from which the preprocessing starts).
Then check the paths and dates in config/data.cfg. In particular, if the dates in any
section are not right, you can have an error message:
ERROR!
An input/output operation failed in FormatBinary<T>::
Read(ifstream& FileStream, Array<TA, N>& A).
Unable to read 42900 byte(s). The input stream is empty.
Indeed, input data can be computed for several days, so the program will discard the data
for the days between Date min in a section of polair3d-data and Date min for the simulation.
Also remember that volume emissions given for NO, APINEN and C5H8 are the sum of
anthropogenic and biogenic emissions.
