The Station meteo data files is a station centered, ascii file format that has been designed with flexibility and ease of use in mind. Please refer to its official format specification for more information (including the list of standard parameters: TA, TSS, TSG, RH, VW, DW, ISWR, OSWR, ILWR, OLWR, PINT, PSUM, HS). For PINT, it is assumed that the intensity (in mm/h) is valid for the whole period between the actual time step and the previous one. You can also have a look at the following Weissfluhjoch dataset as (quite large) example SMET dataset.
This plugin can also provide Points Of Interest, given as a SMET file containing either latitude/longitude/altitude or easting/northing/altitude. For the latter, the header must contain the epsg code (see example below).
Non-standard parameters can also be given, such as extra snow temperatures. These parameters will then take the name that has been given in "fields", converted to uppercase. It is usually a good idea to number these parameters, such as TS1, TS2, TS3 for a serie of temperatures at various positions.
All units are MKSA, the only exception being the precipitations that are in mm/h or mm/{time step}. It is however possible to use multipliers and offsets (but they must be specified in the file header). If no time zone is present, GMT is assumed (but it is nevertheless highly recommended to provide the time zone, even when set to zero).
This plugin uses the following keywords:
