Input Group 5 - Wind Field Options and Parameters
Variable Type Description Default Value
IWFCOD integer Control variable determining which wind field
module is used. (0=objective analysis only,
1=diagnostic wind module.)
IFRADJ integer Control variable for computing Froude number
adjustment effects. (0=do not compute,
1=compute.)
(used only if IWFCOD=1).
IKINE integer Control variable for computing kinematic
effects. (0=do not compute, 1=compute.)
(used only if IWFCOD=1).
IOBR integer Control variable for using the O'Brien vertical
velocity adjustment procedure. (0=do not use,
1=use.)
ISLOPE integer Control variable for computing slope flow
effects. (0 = do not compute, 1 = compute).
IEXTRP integer Control variable for vertical extrapolation. If
ABS(IEXTRP)=1, no vertical extrapolation
from the surface wind data takes place. If
ABS(IEXTRP)=2, extrapolation is done using
a power law profile. If ABS(IEXTRP) = 3,
extrapolation is done using the values provided
in the FEXTRP array for each layer. If
ABS(IEXTRP) = 4 similarity theory is used.
If IEXTRP < 0, Layer 1 data at the upper air
stations are ignored. Layer 1 at an upper air
station is also ignored if the four-character
station name of the upper air station matches
that of a surface station.
