 ### STOFS-2D-Global:

@@ -87,40 +87,46 @@ Here we explain how to use Autoval for STOFS-2D-Global on bias corrected data. F
 Go to the `inputs` directory and create two directories: `static` and `dynamic`.
 
    - Inside the 'dynamic' folder, download STOFS-2D-Global outputs for five to six days. Create six folders using the dates of data you are interested in; for example:
-     
+
      ```
-     mkdir stofs_2d_glo.202403{05..10} 
+     for ($i = 5; $i -le 10; $i++) {
+     $folderName = "stofs_2d_glo.202403{0:D2}" -f $i
+     mkdir $folderName
+     }
      ```
    - To download all the available cycles in each folder, copy the url files available in the 'tests' folder to the corresponding directory and download data for all the available cycles for that date using the following commands:

      ```
-     FOR POWERSHELL:
      $dates = "20240310", "20240309", "20240308", "20240307", "20240306", "20240305"

      Get-Content "urls_$date.txt" | ForEach-Object { curl -O $_ }
      Set-Location ".."}

    - Inside the static folder, download grid data and coastline data:

 - To run Autoval, we need a main config file and up to five config files specifying the spatial extent of the maximum water level plots.
 
 - For the extent of the domain, copy `config.map.estofs.glo.ini`, `config.map.estofs.atl.ini`, `config.map.estofs.pac.ini`, `config.map.puertorico.ini` from the cfg.domains folder to the config folder. You can also follow the same format and generate any domain.ini file that you would like. Just note that STOFS-2D-Global model outputs are associated with -180 to 180 longitude coordinates.
