Hi Molly, It’s not a very illuminating error message, but n02-chem had run out of resource. I have topped it up now. Annette ---

Hi Molly, Sorry we’ve entered the new allocation year today and I hadn’t put any CUs into n02-chem. It’s topped up now. How many more years of your model do you have to run? Cheers, Ros ---
