METSERIES Meteorological and AQ Time-Series Extractor    version 1.9.0
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Purpose:
--------
	  Extract meteorological time series (winds, temperature,
    water vapor) from 3D.DAT, CALMET.DAT, SURF.DAT, CALMM4.DAT
    and UP.DAT.

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

          Extract a meteorological time series from a sample 
          CALMET.DAT file.

 METSERIES.INP Input          22,306     Control file for extraction
 CALMET.DAT    Input       8,369,644     CALMET meteorological data file
               
 METSERIES.LST Output          4,241     List-file for extraction
 CALMET.tsf    Output          2,595     Time-series output file
 CALMET.tab    Output         17,560     Tabular output file (ROSE PLOT file 1)
 CALMET.frq    Output         10,880     Frequency output file (ROSE PLOT file 2)

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

1.  There is a control file for the extraction.  Review the settings for file
    naming and output variables (METSERIES.INP).

2.  Run the application to extract CALMET meteorological data by typing:

    metseries.exe metseries.inp [return]

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

4.  Review the .LST file for the configuration used, and intermediate
    information.  Data for time-series and wind rose output are updated.
    The ASCII files can be viewed to verify this.
