+By default time series data is output to the local file [[../iofiles#DATA_1D_TS_NETCDF|DATA_1D_TS_NETCDF]]. Because of the default settings of '''dt_dots''', it will generally be created for each model run. The file's format is netCDF.  Further details about processing netCDF data are given in chapter [[4.5.1]].\\\\
+The file contains the following timeseries quantities (the first column gives the name of the quantities as used in the netCDF file):\\\\
+||='''Quantity name''' =||='''Meaning''' =||='''Unit''' =||
+||E ||Total (resolved and subgrid-scale) kinetic energy of the flow ||m^2^/s^2^ (normalized with respect to the total number of grid points) ||
+||E* ||Resolved-scale kinetic energy of the flow ||m^2^/s^2^ (normalized with respect to the total number of grid points) ||
+dt
+        Time step size (in s).
+u*      Friction velocity (in m/s) (horizontal average).
+w*      Vertical velocity scale of the CBL (in m/s) (horizontal average)
+th*     Temperature scale (Prandtl layer), defined as w"pt"0 / u* (horizontal average) (in K).
+umax
+        Maximum u-component of the velocity (in m/s).
+vmax
+        Maximum v-component of the velocity (in m/s).
+wmax
+        Maximum w-component of the velocity (in m/s).
+div_old
+        Divergence of the velocity field before the pressure solver has been called (normalized with respect to the total number of grid points) (in 1/s).
+div_new         Divergence of the velocity field after the pressure solver has been called (normalized with respect to the total number of grid points) (in 1/s).
+z_i_wpt         Height of the convective boundary layer (horizontal average) determined by the height of the minimum sensible heat flux (in m).
+z_i_pt  Height of the convective boundary layer (horizontal average) determined by the temperature profile, following the criterion of Sullivan et al. (1998) (in m).
+w"pt"0  Subgrid-scale sensible heat flux at k=0 (horizontal average), constant within Prandtl-layer (in K m/s).
+w"pt"   Subgrid-scale heat flux (horizontal average) for z = zw(1) (in K m/s).
+wpt     Total heat flux (horizontal average) for z = zw(1) (in K m/s).
+w"u"0   Subgrid-scale momentum flux (u-component) at k=0 (horizontal average), constant within Prandtl-layer (in m2/s2).
+w"v"0   Subgrid-scale momentum flux (v-component) at k=0 (horizontal average), constant within Prandtl-layer (in m2/s2).
+w"q"0   Subgrid-scale humidity flux at k=0 (horizontal average), constant within Prandtl-layer (in kg/kg m/s). Zero values are output if humidity is not used.
+pt(0)   Potential temperature at the surface (horizontal average) (in K).
+pt(zp)  Potential temperature for z = zu(1) (horizontal average) (in K).
+L       Monin-Obukhov length.
