Section 9: CALPUFF
Month (ISMO) -- No default ! IEMO = 7 !
Day (IEDY) -- No default ! IEDY = 8 !
Ending time: Hour (IEHR) -- No default ! IEHR = 0 !
Minute (IEMIN) -- No Default ! IEMIN = 0 !
Second (IESEC) -- No Default ! IESEC = 0 !
(These are used only if METRUN = 0)
Base time zone: (ABTZ) -- No default ! ABTZ= UTC+1000 !
(character*8)
The modeling domain may span multiple time zones. ABTZ defines the
base time zone used for the entire simulation. This must match the
base time zone of the meteorological data.
Examples:
Los Angeles, USA
= UTC-0800
New York, USA
= UTC-0500
Santiago, Chile
= UTC-0400
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) = UTC+0000
Rome, Italy
= UTC+0100
Cape Town, S.Africa = UTC+0200
Sydney, Australia
= UTC+1000
Length of modeling time-step (seconds)
Equal to update period in the primary
meteorological data files, or an
integer fraction of it (1/2, 1/3 ...)
(NSECDT) Default:3600 ! NSECDT = 900 !
Units: seconds
Number of chemical species (NSPEC)
Default: 5 ! NSPEC = 8 !
Table 9-2 (Continued)
Sample CALPUFF Control File (CALPUFF.INP)
Input Group 1
Number of chemical species
to be emitted (NSE) Default: 3 ! NSE = 7 !
Flag to stop run after
SETUP phase (ITEST) Default: 2 ! ITEST = 2 !
(Used to allow checking
of the model inputs, files, etc.)
ITEST = 1 - STOPS program after SETUP phase
ITEST = 2 - Continues with execution of program
after SETUP
Restart Configuration:
Control flag (MRESTART) Default: 0 ! MRESTART = 0 !
0 = Do not read or write a restart file
1 = Read a restart file at the beginning of
the run
2 = Write a restart file during run
3 = Read a restart file at beginning of run
and write a restart file during run
Number of periods in Restart
output cycle (NRESPD) Default: 0 ! NRESPD = 0 !
0 = File written only at last period
