Addressing Monte-Carlo suggestion: INPUT variograms NREL#197. Variograms now created. Also addressed issue where multiple processes were writing to the output file at the same time and corrupting parts of it using File Locking. The result is slower, but the results are better. Also, I forgot to close the plot and it was causing a memory leak.
