Format

This plugin reads legacy Alpine3D meteorological input files. It reads the meteo1d.txt file that contains, as measured at one unique location, the following fields:

air temperature in field ta
incoming short wave radiation in field iswr
wind velocity in field vw
relative humidity in field rh
incoming long wave radiation in field ea
precipitations in field nswc

and optionally a list of stations with their measurements (meteo2d files) for the following parameters (with YYYY being the 4-digits year):

precipitations (file named precYYYY.txt)
relative humidity (file named rhumYYYY.txt)
air temperature (file named tairYYYY.txt)
wind speed (file named wspdYYYY.txt)
and optionnally wind direction (file named wdirYYYY.txt)

Units

The units are assumed to be the following:

temperatures in celsius
relative humidity in %
wind speed in m/s
precipitations in mm/h
radiation in W/m²

Keywords

This plugin uses the following keywords:

METEOPATH: string containing the path to the meteorological files (ie: where to find meteo1d.txt and meteo2d files)
COORDSYS: input coordinate system (see Coords) specified in the [Input] section
COORDPARAM: extra input coordinates parameters (see Coords) specified in the [Input] section
COORDSYS: output coordinate system (see Coords) specified in the [Output] section
COORDPARAM: extra output coordinates parameters (see Coords) specified in the [Output] section
POIFILE: a path+file name to the a file containing grid coordinates of Points of Interest (for special outputs). Everything after a comment marker will be ignored until the end of the line.

[Input]
METEO     = A3D
METEOPATH = ./input/meteo
