This directory contains output from STILT footprint computations using GEOS input files, for sample receptors at the WLEF tower, during January and July 2013. The sample receptors are the 6 above ground levels (AGL, in m: 11, 30, 76, 122, 244, 396) at the WLEF tower (45.9451 N, 90.2732 W), at 08 UTC and 20 UTC on each day of the month. Footprint plots: WLEF-AvgJanFootprints.pdf: Maps of footprints, plotted separately by level and time of day, averaged over all receptors during the month of January 2013. day1, day2: footprints summed over all hourly periods during day1 and day 2. 10day: footprints summed over all hourly periods of the 10-day back trajectory. WLEF-AvgJulFootprints.pdf: The same for July 2013. Footprint tar files: FootPlots_plJan2013 - footprints for back trajectory computations for WLEF January 2013, using STILT coupled to GEOS_572 FootPlots_plJul2013 - footprints for back trajectory computations for WLEF July 2013, using STILT coupled to GEOS_FP Each tar file contains netcdf files, one for each receptor.
