Hello,<br><br>I am trying to get my data in netcdf format from ascii format and using the ascii2nc converter. I have roughly 120,000 data points and when I run the converter for all of the points (lines in the ascii file) I get an error message "ERROR: write_met_obs() -> valid time is not in the expected YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS format: 20090507_120000", but when I run it for less data (I have tried 70,000 points) it works fine. All of my data has the same time 20090507_120000, so I can't understand why that would be the problem. It seems to me like the ascii file is too big when I use all of the lines and the converter crashes. I would appreciate any insight to this problem. Thanks so much for your time and help.<br>
