WeatherFile

WeatherFile is a utility to convert weather files of different formats. The variables stored can have different units. Input files must be ASCII files, and the constraint imposed is that one output record will be created from an input record. The program allows creating: 1) multiple files from a single, multi-year file, 2) single files from single files, and 3) a single, multi-year file from several input files. Files can be renamed in a number of ways, using fixed characters, characters from the input file, and characters from the input records. At most two conversion factors can be selected for each variable, and new conversion factors can be saved in the units list. For each output variable the output format can be defined by selecting the number of integers, leading zeroes, and decimals. The day of the yar can also be added if missing from the original file. When the options are selected, their settings can be saved as a driver. Missing data can be detected by indicating a user chosen value. A simple quality control can be performed by defining for each variable a range. Long term daily means can be stored as a location file, and their value can be used to replace missing/out of range data.
