calpuff results visualization and presentation

[Nebojša Subanović]

Hi folks!

I managed to successfuly install and compile mmif, calpuff and calpost but I do not know how to visualize results. Matrix in calpost.lst file doesn't mean too much to me. I would like to draw fields on the Google Earth, so, I suppose I have to make kml files form the output data files. 

And that is the question now: how to do it on a simple way? 

Thanks folks!

Hi, 

Nebojša!

I would recommend you to generate a .DAT file using CALPOST with the 1-h averege concentration/deposition fluxes for all your GRID receptors (better if <2500 at total).

Later, you can use a software like Notepad++ to export it to Excel and work on the data in order to create 3 columns, Column 1 and 2 for the coordinates and 3 for the values. After that, you may use Surfer 14 or ArcGIS to create a

.KML file, usable in Google Earth Pro.

Not sure if it is as simple as properly configuring CALPOST to create .GRD (Surfer) or ESRI files (ArcMap), however I found it better to analyse my data before going into the field drawing.

Hope that it works for you as have for me! If anything you can reply.

Kind regards,

Davi Monticelli

Hi Davi, thanks for answer!

Now I have a new problem: how to please CALPOST to generate grd file! Can't find in any User Manual how to configure calpost.inp to generate them.

Hi, Nebojša!

Try this:
1) Go to where your Project is saved on your computer (Project's Folder);
2) Search for the CALPOST.INP file;
3) Open it with a text editor of your preference;

Now, I recommend you to scan the entire code and see if it is in agreement with what you're modelling.
Specifically for the GRID file, change these parts:

Receptor information

--------------------

  Gridded receptors processed?    (LG) -- Default: F   ! LG  = T  !

  Discrete receptors processed?   (LD) -- Default: F   ! LD  = T  !

(...)

Generate Plot file output in addition to writing tables

      to List file (ECHO goes to either List or Plot)?

                                 (LPLT) -- Default: F   ! LPLT  = T !

(...)
Plot file format?         (PLOTFM) -- Default: 1   ! PLOTFM =  3  !

          1 = .DAT  CALVIEW/SURFER (formatted columns)

          2 = .CSV  ArcMap/ArcGIS  (comma-separated-variable columns)

          3 = .GRD  CALVIEW/SURFER (SURFER 2D grid raster format)

          4 = .ASC  ArcMap/ArcGIS  (ESRI ASCII 2D grid raster format)

I think this should be sufficient, but it might turn out different for you. In such case keep on digging on the code and .LST file generated up to the moment where you are satisfied with the result. 

(After you change the CALPOST.INP file and saved it you can run using the token of CALPUFF View or the CALPOST.exe)

Best regards,
