TAV_AMP
TAV_AMP (559kb) - Calculate values of annual average ambient
temperature (TAV) and annual amplitude in mean monthly temperature (AMP) for an APSIM met file
and insert these values with keywords into the met file. (nb. This is used when creating your own met files)

Documentation.
For a GUI version of TAV AMP please click here to download and then unzip it to somewhere on your hard drive. Then double click "TavAmpGUI.exe", after browsing to and selecting your .met file, then click the GO button and you will see it has added the tav and amp to the top of the .met file. To do a test select test.txt in the folder instead of your .met file.

Control file generator
Control file generator (1.1Mb) - This tool
generates APSIM control and parameters files in a factorial
combination given a template file and parameter values that are
specified in the user interface. Documentation.
