----------------------------------------------------------------------
PRTMET  Display Processor for "CALMET.DAT"
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Purpose:
--------
	  Extracts and prints selected fields from a "CALMET.DAT" file
          created by CALMET.  Any data type in the file may be
          selected for a particular range of hours, for any subset of
          the CALMET grid.

Demonstration:
--------------

          Print the winds at level 3 and the mixing heights for a 7x7
          subset of a 99x99 CALMET grid, for a 4-hour period.
          Produce domain characteristic QA plot files for landuse, terrain,
          leaf area index, and roughness length.


Files for Demonstration:

Procedure:
----------

1.  This application uses the "CALMET.DAT" file that is located in the
    CALPUFF subdirectory for this demonstration.  If you have not
    installed this directory, you cannot run this PRTMET demonstration.
    To see if this file exists, type the following command:

    dir ..\calpuff\cmet.dat [return]

    The response to this command should list the file name, its size,
    and creation date/time.

2.  Run the program by typing:

    prtmet prtmet.inp [return]

3.  The program reads the processing instructions from PRTMET.INP, and
    overwrites the output files listed above.

4.  Review the .LST file for the configuration used, and the results
    obtained.
