met_subgrid

Calculates the grid-scale standard deviations of the horizontal wind and vertical velocity fields as used in the subgrid-scale wind parameterization. The subgrid-scale wind parametrization is described in Stohl et al. (2005).

# calling met_subgrid
$ ./met_subgrid  <ctl> <subgrid.tab> <met0> <met1> [ <met0b> <met1b> ... ]

The required control parameters are: * ctl: the control parameter file * subgrid.tab: the output file with standard deviations of the wind and velocity (in ASCII table format) * met*: pairs of meteorological data files from which the standard deviations are calculated
