Hi

I found a problem about the obs_seq_to_netcdf program. I set append to be false in the section of obs_seq_to_netcdf_nml in the input.nml file. Here are the settings related in input.nml.

&schedule_nml
calendar = 'Gregorian'
first_bin_start = 2000, 1, 9, 12, 0, 0
first_bin_end = 2000, 1, 22, 12, 0, 0
last_bin_end = 2001, 1, 1, 12, 0, 0
bin_interval_days = 15
bin_interval_seconds = 0
max_num_bins = 1000
print_table = .true.
/
&obs_seq_to_netcdf_nml
obs_sequence_name = ''
obs_sequence_list = 'file_list_clm5.0.06_f09_assim_inf_updatehistlai_LAI_global_e60_2000year.txt'
append_to_netcdf = .false.
lonlim1 = 0.0
lonlim2 = 360.0
latlim1 = -90.0
latlim2 = 90.0
verbose = .true.
/
The settings above is expected to generate 24 obs_epoch files. Before I execute obs_seq_to_netcdf, there are 24 obs_epoch*files existing.

When I execute the obs_seq_to_netcdf program, the program only rewrites the first obs_epoch file,obs_epoch_001.nc, and append values to the following 23 obs_epoch*files.
So the append_to_netcdf = .false. doesn't work.

Could anybody help to resolve the problem ?
