Thanks 🙂 I’m not sure if this is the issue, but I’ve noticed my land\_cover\_frac file which I got from Jasmin on another helpdesk ticket here: [2014 timeslice using Archer2 - #8 by hannahbryant](https://cms-helpdesk.ncas.ac.uk/t/2014-timeslice-using-archer2/1938/8) /gws/nopw/j04/cmip6\_prep\_vol1/cmip6\_ancils/data/ancils/model\_derived/ukesm1.0\_historical\_r2i1p1f2\_u-bc292/n96e/clim\_2005-2014 gives me a core dumped error so I think this file is erroneous. Do you know where I might be able to get another copy of this file?

Thanks,

Hannah
