4.3.2 Meteorology
The Meteorology screen contains information about the regional meteorological model
data used to run the regional air quality model and to be extracted for use in ADMSUrban within the RML system. At present, only output from the WRF model is
supported by the system. If you have output data from a different meteorological
model, it will need to be re-formatted into WRF output format for use in the ADMSUrban RML system. The Meteorology screen is shown in Figure 4.7. Each item on the
screen is described in Sections 4.3.2.1 to 4.3.2.5.

4.3.2.1 Directory containing meso-scale meteorological data
The file paths for regional model output files often include date and time information.
The location of the files is specified in two parts in the ADMS-Urban RML Controller
interface:

a date-independent directory path; and

a date and/or time-dependent file path template which may also include any
date or time-dependent directory structure components.
Please refer to the following section for details of the template file path format and an
example of the path definitions. Click on the Browse button ( ) to select the dateindependent directory used to store the WRF output files.
