CALRAMS.INP<br />

In CALRUC.INP, the user specifies the names <strong>of</strong> the output 3D.DAT file and list file, and the directory<br />

th<strong>at</strong> contains the RAMS output files. <strong>The</strong> user may extract a subset <strong>of</strong> both the RAMS grid and the<br />

RAMS simul<strong>at</strong>ion period by specifying the beginning and ending indices <strong>of</strong> the RAMS grid in the easting<br />

(X), northing (Y), and surface to top (Z) directions and the beginning and ending d<strong>at</strong>es for the desired<br />

processing period. <strong>The</strong>re is more than one nesting in RAMS, and each nested domain usually covers a<br />

different area. <strong>The</strong> nest must be identified in the control file.<br />

An example <strong>of</strong> CALRAMS.INP is given in <strong>Table</strong> 7-22 and is described in <strong>Table</strong> 7-23. In<br />

CALRAMS.INP, the content after “!” is made up <strong>of</strong> comments th<strong>at</strong> are not read by the program. <strong>The</strong>re<br />

should be no blank space <strong>at</strong> the beginning <strong>of</strong> any records, but there should be <strong>at</strong> least on blank space<br />

before “!” if it exists.<br />

CALRAMS Output Files<br />

CALRAMS.LST<br />

<strong>The</strong> list file <strong>of</strong> CALRAMS records various inform<strong>at</strong>ion from processing, including user-specified input<br />

controls, configur<strong>at</strong>ions <strong>of</strong> RAMS files, processed files etc. This file should be consulted if CALRAMS<br />

fails to produce a complete 3D.DAT. An example list file is given in <strong>Table</strong> 7-24.<br />

3D.DAT<br />

A sample 3D.DAT file is shown and described in section (7.7).<br />
