How to read QNWFA_QNIFA_QNBCA_SIGMA_MONTHLY.dat using python

[yutinghe]

Hi all,
I'm using aerosol-aware Thompson scheme with climatology file (i.e., QNWFA_QNIFA_QNBCA_SIGMA_MONTHLY.dat). I want to know exactly what variables are in this file.
Is there any sugestions?

Best,
Yuting

Hi Yuting,
Take a look at this web page regarding the file. Although it doesn't provide specific information, there is contact information at the bottom of the page, for the contributors of this file. Another option would be to run metgrid with this file, and without this file, and then compare the differences.

@Yuting,
The code "rd_intermediate.F" in WPS/util/src can read this data file.
