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.
