    Miquel,<br>
    <br>
    Here's the problem.� Your first file TDEF is:<br>
    <br>
    tdef 1 linear 18Z30sep2015 1mo<br>
    <br>
    and the second file TDEF is:<br>
    <br>
    tdef 1 linear 00Z01oct2015 1mo<br>
    <br>
    So, when you open the first file, the first time value will be set
    to 1800 on Sept. 30, 2015.� The increment is define as one month
    (1mo), so t=2 would presumably be 1800 Oct. 30, 2015, t=3 same for
    Nov., and so on.� The combined file has:<br>
    <br>
    tdef 30 linear 06Z29sep2015 6hr<br>
    <br>
    Here, the initial time is 0600 on Sept. 29, 2015 and the increment
    is 6 hours, so the next time step should be 1200 on Sept. 29.� I
    suspect that your files either have too many, or too few, time
    steps.� Maybe the files contain forecast information that overlaps?�
    It looks like the names of the files are f066 then f072, so maybe 6
    time-steps in each, which means (complete speculation here) that
    they have 6 time-steps in each for a total of 36 hours?� If true,
    the first file starts at 0600 Sept 29, the next file should start
    1200 Sept 30?<br>
