Geophysical Processing Gridded land use and terrain elevation data for the CALMET geophysical file are obtained from the USGS. The terrain data are from the one-degree 1:250,000-scale DEM dataset, with an approximate resolution of 90m. Land use data are from the 1:250,000-scale Composite Grid Theme (CTG) dataset, with a resolution of 200m. Because the spatial variation in land use is the primary geophysical property for this application, a modeling grid is chosen that places each land use datapoint in the center of a model grid cell. The modeling grid chosen to cover the area is defined by: Map Projection: UTM (Zone 11N) Datum: NAS-C (North American 1927) SW Corner Coordinates (km): (282.1, 3779.1) Number of cells (nx,ny): (115,100) Cell Size (km): 0.200 The CALMET preprocessors TERREL, CTGPROC, and MAKEGEO are applied to convert the geophysical datasets to this modeling grid, creating the CALMET GEO.DAT file. Coordinate transformations are applied to the source and receptor locations listed in the OCD4 model runs in order to register these features to land use and terrain data in the GEO.DAT file. The OCD4 dataset uses a local grid system that is not referenced to UTM coordinates. These (x,y) coordinates are translated to align the sampler locations with roadway features that are discernable on aerial photographs and that are indicated on the experiment site map. The resulting map of the experiment region is shown in Figure 4-4. Sampling Arc 1, nearest the coast, lies at elevations between 3m and 6m. Most of sampling Arc 2 lies at elevations between 15m and 25m, but the terrain at the northern end rises to more than 100m. Source & Receptor Characterization Tracer releases are characterized as modeled in the OCD4 evaluation. All are modeled with downwash, using the boat dimensions as a solid building with the length perpendicular to the wind. A minimal exit velocity is used to remove any momentum rise.
