Precipitation data not red

Software Support
1

What is the issue or question you have?

My precipitation data cannot be read. They are just clips from raster files from Chirps data, named on monthly basis.

What do you expect to happen?

That it would work

What have you tried so far? Renaming the files

Hi @IHartmann -

Do your precipitation rasters end in the numbers 1-12? As noted in the User Guide, the raster file name for each month must end in a number that corresponds with the month January (1) through December (12).

many thanks. Yes, they do…

4

They are precipitation-01, etc… …Maybe I should make them precipitation-1 ???

5

Do try changing them from 01 to 1. It would be interesting to know if the software doesn’t support 01, I haven’t tried that myself.

wow, that worked! So many thanks… Cheers. Ingrid

Yes, I can confirm that the model expects month numbers to be represented as 1 and not 01. This is an interesting idea, though!
