Provision for multiple input files
----------------------------------
Number of Modeling Domains (NMETDOM)
Default: 1 ! NMETDOM = 1 !
Number of CALMET.DAT files for run (NMETDAT)
Default: 1 ! NMETDAT = 1 !
Number of PTEMARB.DAT files for run (NPTDAT)
Default: 0 ! NPTDAT = 0 !
Number of BAEMARB.DAT files for run (NARDAT)
Default: 0 ! NARDAT = 0 !
Number of VOLEMARB.DAT files for run (NVOLDAT)
Default: 0 ! NVOLDAT = 0 !
!END!

Subgroup (0a)
-------------
Provide a name for each CALMET domain if NMETDOM > 1
Enter NMETDOM lines.

none * DOMAIN1= * *END*
none * DOMAIN2= * *END*
none * DOMAIN3= * *END*
The following CALMET.DAT filenames are processed in sequence if NMETDAT>1
Enter NMETDAT lines, 1 line for each file name.

none input * METDAT =..\testing\CALMET1.DAT * *END*
none input * METDAT =CALMET2.DAT * *END*
a
The name for each CALMET domain and each CALMET.DAT file is treated
as a separate input subgroup and therefore must end with an input
group terminator.
b
Use DOMAIN1= to assign the name for the outermost CALMET domain.
Use DOMAIN2= to assign the name for the next inner CALMET domain.
Use DOMAIN3= to assign the name for the next inner CALMET domain, etc.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
| When inner domains with equal resolution (grid-cell size) |
| overlap, the data from the FIRST such domain in the list will |
| be used if all other criteria for choosing the controlling |
| grid domain are inconclusive. |
--------------------------------------------------------------------
c
Use METDAT1= to assign the file names for the outermost CALMET domain.
Use METDAT2= to assign the file names for the next inner CALMET domain.
Use METDAT3= to assign the file names for the next inner CALMET domain, etc.
