(2002) are also implemented in CALMET. The first is a change in the net solar heat absorbed, which is used in the cool-skin model. This change reduces the leading coefficient applied to the incoming short-wave radiation from 0.137 to 0.060, which in turn corrects an observed problem in the computed evaporative cooling. The second change imposes a minimum wind stress of 0.002N/m 2 in the calculation of the warm layer thickness. The thickness could become exceedingly small in calm or near calm conditions, leading to unrealistic skin temperature increases. Final Report Vol.1 12
Anemometer Height Adjustment for Layer 1 An adjustment to near-surface measured wind speeds is applied to estimate the speed at the mid-point height of Layer 1 (usually 10m above the surface). Previously, such an adjustment must be accomplished outside of the CALMET/CALPUFF system. Anemometer heights are provided for all surface wind stations used in an application, so similarity theory, or even a simple power law adjustment, can be used to make the adjustment. CALMET supports an option to scale the near-surface measured winds to other layers aloft using either similarity theory, a stability-dependent power law, or a usersupplied set of multipliers (one for each layer). The same option has been implemented for adjusting the observed surface data to a height of 10 m, for Layer 1. In addition, if no extrapolation to layers aloft is selected, a neutral logarithmic wind profile is applied to estimate the wind speed at 10m from that measured at anemometer height. Wind speed extrapolation is controlled by variable IEXTRP. For layer 1, the following options are available: 1 extrapolate vertically using a logarithmic wind profile IEXTRP = 2 extrapolate vertically using a power law equation 3 extrapolate vertically using user-defined scaling factors 4 extrapolate vertically using similarity theory If z m is the anemometer height (m) of the surface wind observation and u m is the measured wind speed (m/s), the extrapolation equation options are: 1: u ( 10) ( z0 ) ( z z ) ln 10 = um (3-30) ln m 0 ( 10) ( / ) P 2 : u = um 10 zm (3-31) 3 : u ( 10) FEXTRP( 1) = um (3-32) Final Report Vol.1 13
