VPR profile - illegal values?

Trying to implement vertical profile for TDS. My model starts in January when there is no thermocline and it develops a thermocline consistent with field observations so I have not turned on the vertical profile for T. The preprocessor tells me I have illegal values in my vpr file, but I don't see where they could be. I have -1.0 specified for TDS in my control file. Note: Formatting for vpr file is all right justified (didn't copy properly below) and I have the correct number of entries for my 'wet' layers (cross checked with number of layers in snapshot output files). -------------------------------------------------------------------------- VERTICAL PROFILE TEMP C1 C2 C3 C4 C5 C6 C7 C8 C9 17.0 19.2 6.8 3.6 3.5 3.9 4.5 5.1 5.2 5.2 5.2 5.2 5.2 5.2 5.2 5.2 5.2 5.2 5.2 5.2 5.2 5.2 5.2 5.2 5.2 5.2 5.2 5.2 5.2 5.2 5.2 5.2 5.2 5.2 5.2 5.2 5.2 5.2 5.2 5.2 5.2 5.2 5.2 5.2 5.2 TDS C1 C2 C3 C4 C5 C6 C7 C8 C9 200. 200. 12. 12. 12. 11. 8. 7. 6. 6. 6. 6. 6. 6. 6. 6. 6. 6. 6. 6. 6. 6. 6. 6. 6. 6. 6. 6. 6. 6. 6. 6. 6. 6. 6. 6. 6. 6. 6. 6. 6. 6. 6. 6. 6. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pre-error Either illegal value or incorrect card somewhere in the following card TEMP C1 C2 C3 C4 C5 C6 C7 17.0 19.2 6.8 3.6 3.5 3.9 4.5 5 TDS C1 C2 C3 C4 C5 C6 C7 Last value of card header was TEMP ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Does anyone have any idea how to correct this issue? I am at an impass in my model. Thanks, Kristen

Hi Kristen, I have received the same error message from the pre-processor regarding my vertical profile. I wonder, did you ever resolve this issue? Thank you, Devin

Do you use the format properly? There is a good example in the CE-QUAL-W2 example folder for DeGray Reservoir.

Below is your data as an example. note that there should be an empty line after each parameter. I have put "_" and "." to the text to keep the format correct. See after TEMP, there is an empty line (line 9).
