I have an emissions inventory for the US with hourly data I am running for a specific period. Each file has 24 hours of emissions. Currently I have it set up like this in HEMCO.

0 CMAQ2HEMCO_CH2O__pteguHCHO_EXP /discover/nobackup/tlee25/2023_CRACMMv2_Emissions/CRACMM_PostProcessing/CRACMM2HEMCO_Files/ptegu_2023-$MM-$DD_epa2023v1_hc_22m.nc HCHO_EXP 2023/1-12/1-31/0-23 RF xyz kg/m2/s CH2O >

However, this tells HEMCO to read the file every hour, which is slow. Is there a way to tell HEMCO to read the file in once a day, but select the next hour in the emissions array (if this exists??) to save time opening the file?

Thanks for writing @ktravis213. I believe that @msulprizio had updated HEMCO to read files once/day for the meteorolgoy. I think that involved some special handling so I will let her describe that update.
