Wind Weather File Error?

Wind Weather File Error? was created by John P Tippett
When I use a dowloaded weather file for the Wind model, I am getting abnormally low results.  Doing some troubleshooting with Claude, it is telling me that the pressure units are in hPa in the file, but SAM is expecting Pa.  When I modify the units accordingly, I get the expected output values.

Has anyone else experienced this with the weather files?

My file that SAM says has the incorrect pressure values is attached.

Thanks,
John
