Section 9: CALPUFF
Real WFLXG(nxg,nyg),WFLXD(NDREC)
and
nxg = IESAMP - IBSAMP+1
nyg = JESAMP - JBSAMP+1
CALPUFF contains an option to compress the data by replacing strings of zeroes with a coded repetition
factor. The factor is a negative number whose absolute value indicates the number of consecutive zeroes
that have been replaced by the repetition factor. This method is especially useful in reducing the size of
the output file when large segments of the receptor arrays lie upwind of the puffs during an hour, thereby
producing long strings of zeroes in the output arrays. For example, the following record with data for 20
receptors requires 20 unpacked words:
0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.2, 3.5, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0,
0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.7, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0
These data in packed form would be represented in six words:
-5., 1.2, 3.5, -6., 0.7, -6.
