 METEOROLOGICAL DATA INPUT FOR ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE MODELING

Links to various ISC-ST3 and CAP-88 meteorological data input files are given below.  Currently, data are available for 2001 through 2006.  Not all Oak Ridge Reservation tower sites are represented in the archive at this time.  All ISC-ST3 files are in ASCII - free form format while CAP-88 files are in ASCII - STR format.  Naming convention format for ISC files is TYYYYHHH*.txt where T represents the tower identifier, Y represents the year, and H represents vertical elevation in meters on the given tower.  STR files naming convention is STYYCTHHH.txt where ST represents "Star File", Y represents the year, C represents either M for Mainframe or P for PC, and H represents vertical elevation in meters on the given tower.
