Distributed Hydrology Soil Vegetation Model

Required:

Required when Wind source = MODEL.

Read by:

InitWindModelMaps()

Format:

2D Matrix

Purpose:

Contains a scaling factor for the wind speed for each wind direction class.

Comments:

There are as many files as there are Number of wind maps. File names are expected to be of the format:
<Wind file basename>.xx.bin,
where xx is a 2-digit integer indicating the wind class (use a leading zero for number smaller than 10)

Currently, all wind maps are expected to be in binary format and the option Wind source = MODEL is currently incompatible with the Format = NETCDF option. However, there is no fundamental reason for this other than that the code has not yet been written. This is relatively straighforward to implement.

Details:

If the format is BIN or BYTESWAP, then a float should be used.
