BASE Use 80 km MM5 data from EXP1C and 18 km CALMET grid resolution. 1. Use 80 km MM5 data from EXP1C and 12 km CALMET grid resolution. 2. Use 80 km MM5 data from EXP1C and 4 km CALMET grid resolution. 3. Use 36 km MM5 data from EXP2H and 12 km CALMET grid resolution. 4. Use 12 km MM5 data from EXP2H and 12 km CALMET grid resolution. 5. Use 36 km MM5 data from EXP2H and 4 km CALMET grid resolution. 6. Use 12 km MM5 data from EXP2H and 4 km CALMET grid resolution. The variations in the CALMET STEP2 OA procedures in the CALMET sensitivity test were as follows: A. Use meteorological observations with RMAX1/RMAX2 = 500/1000. B. Use meteorological observations with RMAX1/RMAX2 = 100/200. C. Use meteorological observations with RMAX1/RMAX2 = 10/100. D. Don’t use any meteorological observations (NOOBS = 2). Table A‐2.
