Each line is treated as a separate input subgroup and therefore
must end with an input group terminator.
c
U,V or WS,WD format is selected by variable IPWS

INPUT GROUP: 3 -- Snapshot Output Plotfiles

Subgroup (3a)
-------------
Snapshot plotfiles can be created automatically for each CALMET layer, and
each hour in the processing period identified in Group 1. The plotfiles
are compatible with the SURFER graphics system and are given names that
include the date-time and model layer. Filenames are of the form
YYYY_JJJ_HHMM(UTC+HHMM)_LZZ.*
YYYY = Year (Local Standard Time, LST)
JJJ = Julian Day (LST)
HHMM = Hour & minute (LST)
(UTC+HHMM) = LST definition (e.g. EST = UTC-0500)
ZZ = CALMET layer (00 for 2D variables)
Create plotfiles for each hour
(LVECT) Wind Vectors (*.wsp,*.wdr) Default: F ! LVECT = F !
-- or -- (*.usp,*.vsp)
-- or -- (*.vec)
(LTEMP) Temperature (*.deg) Default: F ! LTEMP = F !
(LPREC) Precipitation (*.prc) Default: F ! LPREC = F !
(LMIXH) Mixing Height (*.mix) Default: F ! LMIXH = F !
(LIPGT) PGT Stability (*.pgt) Default: F ! LIPGT = F !
Force snapshot files to be ASCII (text), otherwise files
containing non-integer data will be written as BINARY
to reduce file size.
(LSNAPTXT) Default: T ! LSNAPTXT = F !
Type of file created for the Wind Vector option
(MVECT) Default: 0 ! MVECT = 1 !
0 = *.vec (SURFER POST file)
1 = *.wsp, *.wdr (speed and direction SURFER GRD files)
2 = *.usp, *.vsp (U and V speed SURFER GRD files)
Number of layers of 3-D meteorological data written to plot files.
(Identify layers in Subgroup 3b)
If set to 0, only layer 1 is provided.
(NZPLOT) Default: 0 ! NZPLOT = 0 !
Specific snapshot plotfiles can be created for selected CALMET layers and
hours in the processing period identified in Group 1. The plotfiles
are compatible with the SURFER graphics system and are given names by the
user.
Number of snapshot plotfiles explicitly defined in Subgroup 3c
(NSNAP) Default: 0 ! NSNAP = 0 !
