Hello.

I am interested in confirming the valid layer types for input to METRo 3.2.1

Currently, we see on the Wikia site 
(http://documentation.wikia.com/wiki/Layer_type_%28METRo%29) that:

The ground structure or roads used in 
METRo<http://documentation.wikia.com/wiki/METRo> can be on of those three types:
1.       asphalt
2.       crushed rock
3.       cement

All layers thickness in RWIS station 
configuration<http://documentation.wikia.com/wiki/Input_station_%28METRo%29> 
file are in meters.

In the case of road, a thickness of 20 meters of sand is added as last layer of 
material.

While old documentation for METRo 2 states:
The METRo 2.0 Documentation
Surface type
The ground structure for which 
METRo<file:///C:\Documents%20and%20Settings\bjones\My%20Documents\PELMOREX\RWIS\METRo%20model\met_METRo_en.html>
 makes a forecast can be composed by three types: asphalt, gravel or concreted.

All layers thickness in RWIS station configuration 
file<file:///C:\Documents%20and%20Settings\bjones\My%20Documents\PELMOREX\RWIS\METRo%20model\met_Fichier+de+configuration+de+la+station+RWIS_en.html>
 are in meters.
Asphalt (type 1)
Gravel (type 2)
Concreted (type 3)
Sand (type 4)
In the case of road, a thickness of 20 meters of sand is added as last layer of 
material.


What would happen if the old input types were used in configuration files 
instead of the current scheme?  Would the model accept them, choke, or 
substitute default values or equivalents?

Thanks.
