Intelimet Advantage 6

Now modify the station parameters/ constants in the program to reflect the new settings.
C_ZOM = 10
C_ZOT = 0.0005
C_LEV = 2440000
C_HAS = 1004.0
Enter these values in program as shown below.
Save the program as a different name ImetEx1.Cr2. The program is ready for sending to logger for data
collection and ET computation with the revised parameters.
Example 2:
InteliMet Advantage 6 weather station is setup on top of a tower whose height is 5m. Roughness
parameter of the location of the installation is found to be 0.004m and the specific air heat capacity is
1002.0 J/KgC. The station is located in a research site and the project requires sensor data to be read every
60 seconds and store to logger every 15 minutes. Modify the program IMET_MP2_Main.CR2 and send to
logger so that the InteliMet Advantage 6 weather station can calculate ET using the Lascano-VanBavel
RCM algorithm.
From the program it is clear that the required station parameters are,
zom = 5 m
zot = 0.004 m
lev = 2.44 x 10

.
has = 1002.0 J/KgC
Scan interval = 60 sec
Store interval = 15 min
Open the program in IMET_MP2_Main.CR2 in CRBasic or favorite text editor. As shown below are the
default parameters.
