 == Simulation setups for category 1 ==
 Category 1 includes checks of the PALM-4U source code for compliance to the general FORTRAN coding standard, as well as to the specific PALM formatting rules. Further, the code is tested for run-time errors as well as compiler-dependent functionality issues, and simulation results are checked for elementary plausibility. For this purpose ('''S''')mall setups are sufficient, suitable to run on desktop PCs (2-4 processor cores) within a time frame of O(1-10min).\\\\
-Three setups with different generic building topographies and tree distributions are available (see Fig. 2), making use of the urban surface model (USM), clear-sky radiation model, and plant canopy model (PCM). To summarize some of the setup features:\\
+Since the release of PALM 5.0, PALM-4U enables the use of NetCDF input files, the so-called [static and dynamic drivers], as input data for the PALM model system. The drivers are based on the PALM Input Data Standard ([PIDS]). In their current form, the generic_* setups don't work anymore. Instead, we created a new street-crossing setup (see Fig. 2), which contains all so far available PALM-4U components, and is driven by a static driver. To summarize the setup:
 * Domain: 20 x 20 x 20 m³
 * Grid size: 2m 
 * Moderate wind from west
-* Clear-sky conditions, dry atmosphere (USM does not yet consider latent heat fluxes in surface energy balance)
 * Cyclic lateral boundary conditions
+* 4 differently high buildings
+* 2 trees
+* Land surface model (LSM)
+* Urban surface model (USM)
+* Plant canopy model (PCM)
+* Clear-sky radiation model
+* (Chemistry model)

-For each of the three setups, a .zip archive can be downloaded, containing INPUT, MONITORING, OUTPUT files and a README file with the setup documentation:
-* [attachment:generic_cube.zip generic_cube]
-* [attachment:generic_canyon.zip generic_canyon]
-* [attachment:generic_crossing.zip generic_crossing]\\\\
+The [attachment:test_urban.zip test_urban.zip] archive (will be attached soon) contains the required INPUT files
+* test_urban_p3d (parameter file; test_urban_chem_p3d is for simulation with chemistry model, which requires to add the pre-processor directive -D__chem to the %cpp_options in your.palm.config.*)
+* test_urban_static (static driver)
+as well as the MONITORING and OUTPUT files, and a README file with the setup documentation.

 '''NOTE:''' Additional and more feature-specific setups can be created on an as-needed basis.
