Section 8: CALMET Model Files<br />

<strong>Table</strong> 8-31:<br />

Sample PRTMET Control File (PRTMET.INP)<br />

PRTMET.INP 2.1 Hour Start and End Times with Seconds<br />

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />

PRTMET PROCESSOR CONTROL FILE<br />

-----------------------------<br />

PRTMET reads the binary meteorological d<strong>at</strong>a file produced by CALMET<br />

(CALMET.DAT), and reports selected inform<strong>at</strong>ion in form<strong>at</strong>s amenable to<br />

quantit<strong>at</strong>ive analysis, QA review, or visualiz<strong>at</strong>ion.<br />

INPUT GROUP: 0 -- Input and Output Files<br />

--------------<br />

Default Name Type<br />

File Name<br />

------------ ---- ---------<br />

CALMET.DAT input ! METDAT = ..\Calmet.d<strong>at</strong> !<br />

PRTMET.LST output ! RUNLST = Prtmet.lst !<br />

PRTTIME.DAT output ! PRTTIME = Prttime.d<strong>at</strong> !<br />

Note: PRTTIME is a time-series file cre<strong>at</strong>ed only if a single point is<br />

selected for processing/printing in Input <strong>Group</strong> 1. 2D and 3D variables<br />

specified in Input <strong>Group</strong> 2 are written each timestep for this point.<br />

All file names will be converted to lower case if LCFILES = T<br />

Otherwise, if LCFILES = F, file names will be converted to UPPER CASE<br />

(LCFILES) Default: T ! LCFILES = T !<br />

T = lower case<br />

F = UPPER CASE<br />

NOTE: File/p<strong>at</strong>h names can be up to 132 characters in length<br />

Additional output files may be defined in Input <strong>Group</strong>s 3 and 4 when<br />

specific snapshot plots or average field plots are requested.<br />

Starting d<strong>at</strong>e: Year (IBYR) -- No default ! IBYR = 2002 !<br />

Month (IBMO) -- No default ! IBMO = 1 !<br />

Day (IBDY) -- No default ! IBDY = 5 !<br />

Hour (IBHR) -- No default ! IBHR = 6 !<br />

Second (IBSEC) -- No default ! IBSEC = 600 !<br />

Ending d<strong>at</strong>e: Year (IEYR) -- No default ! IEYR = 2002 !<br />

Month (IEMO) -- No default ! IEMO = 1 !<br />

Day (IEDY) -- No default ! IEDY = 5 !<br />

Hour (IEHR) -- No default ! IEHR = 7 !<br />

Second (IESEC) -- No default ! IESEC = 1800 !<br />

NOTE: <strong>The</strong> d<strong>at</strong>e/time is in the base time zone <strong>of</strong> the CALMET run.<br />

--- Processing Options ---<br />

Time interval between printed/plotted fields:<br />

(number <strong>of</strong> CALMET output timesteps)<br />

Enter 1 to print every timestep, enter 2 to<br />

print every second timestep, etc.<br />

(ICHR) Default: 1 ! ICHR = 1 !<br />

Portion <strong>of</strong> meteorological grid to print/plot<br />

Enter beginning (NBX, NBY) and ending (NEX, NEY)<br />

cell indices (enter 0 to indic<strong>at</strong>e entire grid).<br />

(NBX) Default: 0 ! NBX = 12 !<br />

(NBY) Default: 0 ! NBY = 12 !<br />

(NEX) Default: 0 ! NEX = 16 !<br />

(NEY) Default: 0 ! NEY = 16 !<br />

Note: If only one gridpoint is specified, variables selected in<br />

Input <strong>Group</strong> 2 are written to a separ<strong>at</strong>e time-series output file<br />

defined in Input <strong>Group</strong> 0.<br />
