Import Temperature Data Dialog

The Import Temperature Data Dialog is used to import a temperature profile for use in modelling snow melt.

Temperature data can be imported in NCDC TD3200 format (which can be obtained from the US National Climatic Data Center), or from Canadian DLY02 or DLY04 format.

The dialog is displayed by right clicking on the Rainfall Event and selecting Import | Temperature Event from NCDC or DLY02/4 file from the popup menu.
