Description of your issue or question

Hi, I have been trying to run HEMCO stand alone simulation (HEMCO 3.6.2). I want to save the output every month, and each monthly file will have hourly data. So for one year, for example, I will have 12 monthly files, and the tilmestep of each file will be 30*24=720hrs. I set the diagnostic frequency as hourly, but then there will be a file produced for each hour, which slows down the simulation a lot. I wonder if there is a way to set the write frequency, so that all the hourly data will be concatenate (not averaged!) as one file only at the end of each month. I could not find any information about how to do this after searching through the documentation above. Could someone help me with this? Thanks a lot!
