    5454By default, cross section data are output (depending on the selected cross sections(s), see below)  to local files [[DATA_2D_XY_NETCDF]], [[DATA_2D_XZ_NETCDF]] and/or [[DATA_2D_YZ_NETCDF]]. Volume data are output to file [[DATA_3D_NETCDF]]. If the user has switched on the output of temporally averaged data, these are written seperately to local files [[DATA_2D_XY_AV_NETCDF]], [[DATA_2D_XZ_AV_NETCDF]], [[DATA_2D_YZ_AV_NETCDF]], and [[DATA_3D_AV_NETCDF]], respectively.\\\\
    5555The filenames already suggest that all files have netCDF format. Informations about the file content (kind of quantities, array dimensions and grid coordinates) are part of the self describing netCDF format and can be extracted from the netCDF files using the command "ncdump -c <filename>". See ''[[../iofiles|netCDF data]]'' about processing the PALM netCDF data.\\\\
    56 The following quantities are available for output by default (quantity names ending with '*' are only allowed for the output of horizontal cross sections
