    For example:
    ```
-   file_vars    = 'input/gfs.t12z.20220715.sfcf000.canopy.nc' 'input/gfs.t12z.20220716.sfcf000.canopy.nc' 'input/gfs.t12z.20220717.sfcf000.canopy.nc'

+   file_out     = 'output/2022-07-01-11-0000_global'
    ```
 
 3. Edit namelist (`namelist.canopy`) for correct time start/end and interval
 
    For example:
    ```
-   time_start  = '2022-07-15-12:00:00.0000'
-   time_end    = '2022-07-17-12:00:00.0000'
+   time_start  = '2022-07-01-11:00:00.0000'
+   time_end    = '2022-07-01-13:00:00.0000'
    ntime       =  3
-   time_intvl  =  86400  !!!For daily time steps (i.e., 24*3600)
+   time_intvl  =  3600   !!! For hourly time steps
    ```
+   `time_intvl = 86400` for daily time steps (i.e., 24*3600).
