## Meteorology / Convert to ARL / MM5V3 format

This menu tab is intended to convert MM5 Version 3 output files, usually named MMOUT_DOMAIN{X}, to the ARL packed HYSPLIT compatible format. Input files can have any name. The reformatted output files are named by default to DATA{X}.ARL, where "X" is the domain number. The output file can be renamed through the menu. Multiple time periods can be contained in one file. Note that the conversion program rounds the output times to the nearest 15 minutes. This is required because when MM5 is run on a multiprocessor system, output times may differ be a few minutes for each output cycle.
