+'''Currently this parameter cannot be used.'''\\\\
+Type of normalization applied to the x-coordinate of vertical profiles to be plotted with profil.\\\\
+This parameter only applies for [#data_output_format data_output_format] = '' 'profil'.''\\\\
+If vertical profiles are plotted with the plot software '''profil''' (data on local file PLOT1D_DATA, parameters on local file PLOT1D_PAR) the x-values of the data points can be normalized with respect to certain quantities (e.g. the near-surface heat flux) in order to ensure a better comparability. This type of normalization then applies to all profiles of one coordinate system (panel). The normalization quantities are re-calculated for each output time of each individual profile. If temporally averaged profiles are output (see [#averaging_interval_pr averaging_interval_pr]), then the normalization quantities are also temporally averaged accordingly. If the value of a normalization quantity becomes zero, then normalization for the total respective coordinate system (panel) is switched off automatically (also for the y-axis).\\\\
+By default, the normalization quantities are calculated as the horizontal mean of the total model domain and and these values are also used for the normalization of profiles from subdomains (see [#statistic_regions statistic_regions]). Instead of this, they can be calculated from the data of a certain subdomain by using the parameter [#normalizing_region normalizing_region] (however, they are used again for all subdomains and even for the total domain).\\\\
+The user can choose between the following normalization quantities:\\
+||'' 'wpt0' '' ||Normalization with respect to the total surface sensible heat flux (k=0 ) ||
+||'' 'ws2' '' ||Normalization with respect to w*^2^ (square of the characteristic vertical wind speed of the CBL) ||
+||'' 'tsw2' '' ||Normalization with respect to the square of the characteristic temperature of the CBL theta* (this is defined as ratio of the surface heat flux and w*) ||
+||'' 'ws3' '' ||Normalization with respect to w*^3^ ||
+||'' 'ws2tsw' '' ||Normalization with respect to w*^2^theta* (for definition of theta* see '' 'tsw2' '') ||
+||'' 'wstsw2' ''||Normalization with respect to w*^2^theta* (for definition of theta* see '' 'tsw2' '') ||
+For each coordinate system (panel) to be drawn (see [#cross_profiles cross_profiles]) an individual normalization quantity can be assigned. For example: if '''cross_normalized_x''' = '' 'ws2','ws3','' then the x-values in the 1st coordinate system are normalized with respect to w*^2^ and in the 2nd system with respect to w*^2^. Data of the further coordinate systems (if any are to be drawn) are not normalized.\\\\
+Using a normalization leaves all vertical profile data on local file PLOT1D_DATA unaffected, it only affects the visualization. Within profil, the normalization is steered by parameter '''normx''' which may be changed subsequently by the user in the parameter file (local file PLOT1D_PAR).\\\\
+The assigned normalization quantity is noted in the axes labels of the respective coordinate systems (see [#cross_xtext cross_xtext]).
