Subgroup (2b)

a,b
DATA FOR EACH LAYER PRINTED (N3D entries)
-----------------------------------------
c
U,V
or
LAYER WS,WD W TEMPERATURE
----- ----- ----- -----
! X = 1, 1, 0, 0 ! !END!
-------------
a
0 = do not print this variable for this layer
1 = print this variable for this level
b
Each line is treated as a separate input subgroup and therefore
must end with an input group terminator.
c
U,V or WS,WD format is selected by variable IPWS

Subgroup (3a)

Automatically generated snapshot plotfiles
------------------------------------------
Snapshot plotfiles can be created automatically for each CALMET layer, and
each timestep in the processing period identified in Group 1. The plotfiles
are compatible with the SURFER graphics system and are given names that
include the date-time and model layer. Filenames are of the form
yyyy_Mmm_Ddd_hhmm(UTC+hhmm)_Lzz_tMIN.* or
yyyy_Mmm_Ddd_hhmm(UTC+hhmm)_Lzz_tHR.* where
yyyy = Year (Base Time Zone)
mm
= Month (Base Time Zone)
dd
= Day (Base Time Zone)
hhmm = Start of Timestep: Hour & Minute (Base Time Zone)
(UTC+hhmm) = Base Time Zone definition (e.g. EST = UTC-0500)
zz
= CALMET layer (00 for 2D variables)
t
= Length of timestep (e.g., 1HR or 5MIN or 30MIN etc.)
Create automatic plotfiles for each timestep
(LVECT) Wind Vectors (*.wsp,*.wdr) Default: F ! LVECT = T !
-- or -- (*.usp,*.vsp)
-- or -- (*.vec)
(LTEMP) Temperature (*.deg) Default: F ! LTEMP = F !
(LPREC) Precipitation (*.prc) Default: F ! LPREC = F !
(LMIXH) Mixing Height (*.mix) Default: F ! LMIXH = F !
(LIPGT) PGT Stability (*.pgt) Default: F ! LIPGT = F !
Force snapshot files to be ASCII (text), otherwise files
containing non-integer data will be written as BINARY
to reduce file size.
(LSNAPTXT) Default: T ! LSNAPTXT = T !
Type of file created for the Wind Vector option
(MVECT) Default: 0 ! MVECT = 0 !
0 = *.vec (SURFER POST file)
1 = *.wsp, *.wdr (speed and direction SURFER GRD files)
2 = *.usp, *.vsp (U and V speed SURFER GRD files)
Number of layers of 3-D meteorological data written to plot files.
(Identify layers in Subgroup 3b)
If set to 0, only layer 1 is provided.
(NZPLOT) Default: 0 ! NZPLOT = 3 !
Explicitly defined snapshot plotfiles
