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. S.
