File Name | Format | Description |
---|---|---|
GRIDDESC | ASCII | Grid descriptions file that defines the output grid for the output surrogates file created by the program. It must include the name of the grid set by the IOAPI_GRIDNAME_1 environment variable setting. |
INFILE | ASCII | Spatial surrogates file in AGPRO/BGPRO/MGPRO format (see Section 8.4.1, “AGPRO and MGPRO: Area and Mobile Spatial Surrogates Files”). File can be for Lambert Conformal, UTM, or lat-lon projection. |
IOAPI_GRIDNAME_1: [default: blank]
This variable sets the name of the output grid definition to be read from the GRIDDESC input file. The name can be a maximum of 16 characters (the limitation of I/O API grid names).

---|---|---|
LOGFILE | ASCII | Log generated from executing Surgtool |
OUTFILE | ASCII | Estimated surrogates file for the grid defined in GRIDDESC and selected by the IOAPI_GRIDNAME_1 setting. This surrogates file is not as accurate as creating a spatial surrogates file from the MIMS spatial allocator. However, the finer the Surgtool input grid is relative to the output grid, the more accurate the estimated surrogates are. |
