Problems with warm start in FLEXPART v11

Dear developers,

I am running flexpart v11 and I am having problems with the restart option (IPIN=1). Specifically the model generates the output files but does not write them correctly (partoutput files take 92K of storage space vs 555M of a correct file in my simulation). Further exploring the error, it seems to be related to the time variable ‘loutnext’ defined in the ‘timemanager_mod.f90’. When making a screen print of this I see that it is delayed with respect to the real time instant, which means that ‘loutend’ coincides with the start of the new simulation, when it shouldn't. Modifying the code as follows (line 157), the model with the restart option activated seems to work correctly:

!MODIFICATION
!loutnext=loutnext_init
loutnext=loutnext_init+loutaver
!MODIFICATION

Can you confirm if this is indeed a bug?

Thanks in advance,

Alfredo Crespo-Otero
