Input Group 5 - Wind Field Options and Parameters
Variable Type Description Default Value
ICALM integer Control variable for extrapolation of calm
surface winds to layers aloft. (0 = do not
extrapolate calms, 1 = extrapolate calms)
BIAS real array Layer-dependent biases modifying the weights
of surface and upper air stations. NZ values
must be entered. (-1 BIAS +1) Negative
BIAS reduces the weight of upper air stations
(e.g., BIAS = -0.1 reduces their weight by
10%). Positive BIAS reduces the weight of
surface stations (e.g., BIAS = 0.2 reduces their
weight by 20%). Zero BIAS leaves weights
unchanged.
IPROG integer Control variable determining if gridded
prognostic model field winds are used as input.
0 = No, (IWFCOD = 0 or 1)
1 = Yes, use CSUMM winds as Step 1 field,
(IWFCOD=0)
2 = Yes, use CSUMM winds as initial guess
field (IWFCOD=1)
3 = Yes, use winds from MM4.DAT file as
Step 1 field (IWFCOD=0)
4 = Yes, use winds from MM4.DAT file as
initial guess field (IWFCOD=1)
5 = Yes, use winds from MM4.DAT file as
observations (IWFCOD=0 or 1)
13 = Yes, use winds from MM5.DAT file as
Step 1 field (IWFCOD=0)
14 = Yes, use winds from MM5.DAT file as
initial guess field (IWFCOD=1)
15 = Yes, use winds from MM5.DAT file as
observations (IWFCOD=0 or 1)
