This folder contains the ten tests cases packaged with previous versions of AERMET,
(EX01, EX02, . . . EX05, anchorage, codero, lovett, martins creek and salem), and 
two additional sets of tests for version 19191 of AERMET and the new AERMINUTE 
processor.  The anchorage, codero, EX02/aermet2, EX04/Houston, lovett, martins 
creek and salem test cases produce all of the meteorological input files required
for the standard AERMOD test cases. 

One of the AERMINUTE/AERMET tests includes a full year of ISHD surface data and 
1-minute ASOS wind data from Providence, RI (PVD) for 2005, and the other test includes 
a full year of ISHD surface data and 1-minute ASOS wind data from Pittsburgh, PA (PIT) 
for 2000, with 3 months of "pseudo" site-specific data for June through August 2000.

The AERMINUTE/AERMET test cases for PVD and PIT test cases are in separate folders, 
and each test includes subfolders for input files and output files.  Each input file 
subfolder includes a batch file that will run AERMINUTE and AERMET for the associated 
tests.  The batch files assume that the AERMINUTE and AERMET executables are located 
within the input file folders, but the executables are not included in the 
'aermet_testcase.zip' file.  The output file folders include nearly all of the output 
data and report files, but some of the intermediate files have been removed to 
minimize the overall file size.

The AERMET test case suite has been expanded to include R processing scripts to create 
comparison plots of AERMET output for each of the test cases. The file 
"cmp_met_aermet_test_suite.R" can be used to read in two sets of test cases (organized
as provided in this zip file) and create a suite of plots comparing the resultant 
wind speeds, VPTG, u*, sensible heat flux, mechanical mixing height, and Monin-obukhov
length for all processed hours. The file "read_aermet_surf.fun.R" is used by the first 
script to read in the surface meteorological files. 

The folders in this zip file contain the following:

aermet_def_testcases_19191 - aermet testcases for 19191 without the adjusted u* option.

aermet_ustar_testcases_19191 - aermet testcases for 19191 with the adjusted u* option.

aermet_plots_18081 - plots comparing results from aermet using 18081 with and without
                     the adjusted u* option. 

aermet_plots_18081_19191 - plots comparing results from aermet using 18081 with 
                           against version 19191 without the adjusted u* option. 

aermet_plots_18081_19191_ustar - plots comparing results from aermet using 18081 
                                 with against version 19191 with the adjusted u* 
                                 option. 

aermet_plots_19191 - plots comparing results from aermet using 19191 with and without
                     the adjusted u* option.
