Input Group 6 - Mixing Height, Temperature, and Precipitation Parameters
Variable Type Description Default Value
ITPROG integer 3D temperature from observations or from prognostic
data
0
0 = Use surface and upper air stations (if NOOBS = 0)
1 = Use Surface stations (no upper air observations);
Use MM5 for upper air data (if NOOBS = 0,1)
2 = No surface or upper air observations; use MM5 for
surface and upper air data (if NOOBS = 0,1,2)
IRAD integer Type of temperature interpolation
(1 = 1/radius)
(2 = 1/radius 2 )
IAVET integer Conduct spatial averaging of temperatures (0 = no; 1 =
yes) (Will use MNMDAV and HAFANG)
1
1
TRADKM real Radius of influence for temperature interpolation (km) 500.
NUMTS integer Maximum number of stations to include in temperature
interpolation
TGDEFB real Default temperature lapse rate (K/m) below mixing
height over water
TGDEFA real Default temperature lapse rate (K/m) above mixing
height over water
5
