Table 2-1. Table shows the difference in effort required by the user to run CALMET in three different modes, (1) the most simple a No-Obs mode, (2) a Hybrid approach which combines observations with prognostic model data, and (3) an Observations only approach – which requires the most decisions and effort by the user.

Meteorological Data Options Set the control file to reflect NOOBS NOOBS 2 For screening model runs option 2 means use prognostic data (MM4/MM5/3D.DAT) file exclusively, i.e., no surface, overwater or upper air simulation. stations. Cloud Data Options – Gridded Cloud ICLOUD 4 Gridded cloud cover from Prognostic relative humidity at all levels (MM5toGrads Fields algorithm) Use gridded prognostic wind field This value can vary depending on the format of the prognostic model data and model output (3D.DAT) as input to IPROG 14 whether the prognostic data is input as the IGF (14), Step 1 wind field (13) or as CALMET observations (15). Radius of influence of terrain feature TERRAD* No Default There is no default for TERRAD and its value in km requires user input. TERRAD is specific to each model domain. * Of these parameters that require changes for a NOOBS model run, the only one that is site specific and requires special attention is TERRAD. 9
