10.1 APPEND
The APPEND program is designed to combine a set of sequential CALPUFF output data files into a
single file with the same format, covering the entire period of the original collection of files. The files
combined must be of the same type, containing concentrations, wet deposition fluxes, dry deposition
fluxes, or relative humidity data. The periods contained in the files should either overlap, or meet exactly
(files start with the time period that follows the last period in the preceding file).
Table 10-1 lists the input and output files for one application of APPEND. Both the control file name
(APPEND.INP) and the list file name (APPEND.LST) are set in the program, so the user cannot change
these. All CALPUFF output file names must be provided by the user, and these are placed in the control
file. The control file structure is listed in Table 10-2, and a sample control file is listed in Table 10-3.
To run this program, place the executable and the control file (edited to reflect your application) in the
same directory or folder, and enter the following command-line:
APPEND
The program will open the control file for your application, and follow the instructions. Messages appear
on the screen as the program runs, and full documentation for the run is written to the list file. A sample
list file is presented in Table 10-4.
