<span style="font-family:Verdana;">Hello, </span>
</p>
<p style="font-family:SimSun;">
<span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;">I have serval ERA-Interim reanalyses files (contains forecast steps)</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> downloaded from the ECMWF and I want to use one description file to control them. </span></span>
</p>
<p style="font-family:SimSun;">
<span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;white-space:normal;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;">The problem is that each file contains serval different base time and serval time steps. How to create one ctl file to descript them properly? I had tried serval times including replace the </span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">substitution template %iy2,%ym2</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">, however, it cannot</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> descript</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> multiple files</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">. </span></span></span>
</p>
<p style="font-family:SimSun;">
<span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;white-space:normal;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;">The atttachments</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> are the grib </span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">files and ctl files. </span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">The outputs are below.</span></span></span>
