Figure 1-6:<br />

Flow diagram <strong>of</strong> the diagnostic wind model in CALMET. Winds derived from<br />

mesoscale models MM4/MM5, NAM(Eta), WRF, RUC, RAMS, TAPM or CSUMM<br />

can be introduced as the initial guess field A, or the Step 1 field B. Mesoscale model<br />

wind d<strong>at</strong>a (except CSUMM) can also be tre<strong>at</strong>ed as “observ<strong>at</strong>ions” C. P<strong>at</strong>h A is<br />

recommended.<br />
