griddedInitialization

Gridded Initialization (CLI only)

• Supply an input wind speed grid and an input wind direction grid
• Input wind grid requirements:
  • Must be in .asc format
  • Must be in the same projection as the DEM
  • Must completely overlap the DEM
• You can specify the wind speed units for the grid just like you do for a uniform wind, by specifying input_speed_units
• Diurnal and stability options can be used, just supply date, time, uniform air temperature, and uniform cloud cover as normal
