Hullo DSSAT users,
 
I hope that you are all enjoying using DSSAT3. I am, although I encounter
some problems now and then.
 
My current problem(s) is/are as detailed below:
 
I am trying to generate daily weather data using SIMMETEO for the purpose
of comparing with observed data for a particular station. Then export the
generated data into SAS format so as to run the moisture model that I am
using(uses a daily time frame). In the course of generation I have noted that
relative humidity and wind are not among the generating variables. While in
the moisture model that I use, requires these two variables in the estimation/
calculation of potential evapotranspiration (advective term).
 
Now my questions are:
1. Doesn't Weatherman generate wind and relative humidity?
2. Am I wrong to use defaults in the 'check ranges'?
3. How can I view and print the daily generated weather variables?
4. On temporary file options... which selection should I make so that my
   files are saved if I intend to export the next day I start the weatherman
   session? (prompt for each file/ keep at the end of session)?
5. When I tried to plot a graph of monthly Tmax and Tmin , I got >200
   scatterings while I was expecting 24 only. What is my mistake? Also the
   units on both axises are strange to me.
 
Please help. I will be grateful to get some responses to my questions. Have
a nice week-end.
 
Regards,
 
 
Winnie Rwamugira
