- User-selected portion of horizontal grid printed for all gridded meteorological fields.<br />

Options include printing entire grid, subset of grid, or a single data point.<br />

- User-selected time period(s) printed.<br />

- User-selected printing time interval.<br />

- User-selected format for display of gridded meteorological fields (self-scaling<br />

exponential format or fixed format).<br />

Two input files are read by PRTMET: a user-input control file <strong>and</strong> the unformatted meteorological data<br />

file containing the gridded wind <strong>and</strong> micrometeorological fields generated by CALMET. The output file<br />

PRTMET.LST contains the printed data selected by the user. PRTMET also produces a user defined<br />

number of plot files. A time-series output file is created whenever a single grid point is selected for<br />

processing. Table G-1 contains a summary of the input files <strong>and</strong> output files for PRTMET.<br />

The format of the PRTMET control input file follows the same rules as those used in the CALMET.INP<br />

file (refer to the CALMET section for details). Only data within the delimiter characters (!) are processed.<br />

The input data consist of a leading delimiter followed by the variable name, equals sign, input value or<br />

values, <strong>and</strong> a terminating delimiter (e.g., !XX = 12.5!). PRTMET.INP may be created/edited directly<br />

using a conventional editor, or it may be created/edited indirectly by means of the PC-based, Windowscompatible<br />

Graphical User Interface (GUI) developed for the geophysical preprocessors (CALPRO). A<br />

sample input file is presented in Table G-2. A description of each of the inputs is provided in Table G-3.<br />

PRTMET extracts <strong>and</strong> prints the data selected by the user from the CALMET data file. A sample output<br />

file is shown in Table G-4. A sample contour plot file <strong>and</strong> a sample vector plot file are shown in Table G-<br />

5 <strong>and</strong> Table G-6, respectively. A sample time-series output file is shown in Table G-7.<br />
