47 | <p style="line-height: 100%;">Before carrying out a model |
---|
48 | run, the user |
---|
49 | has to /determine/ a data set - the model parameters - e.g. how |
---|
50 | many grid points are to be used, how large the horizontal and |
---|
51 | vertical grid spacing should be, which kind of boundary conditions are |
---|
52 | to be used for the individual variables, which numerical schemes |
---|
53 | implemented in the model are to be used, how long the simulated time |
---|
54 | should be, at which times and points plot output are supposed to be |
---|
55 | made, etc. <br> |
---|
56 | |
---|
57 | |
---|
58 | </p> |
---|
59 | |
---|
60 | <p style="line-height: 100%;">These data are |
---|
61 | assigned with the help of |
---|
62 | so-called “NAMELIST-driven input” (FORTRAN - |
---|
63 | NAMELIST – |
---|
64 | input). The chosen values of the model parameters are |
---|
65 | written |
---|
66 | into an ASCII file with fixed format, which is expected by the model as |
---|
67 | an input |
---|
68 | file under the local name <a href="chapter_3.4.html#PARIN">PARIN</a>. |
---|
69 | On this file the parameters are represented by their variable names |
---|
70 | they have in the model. These parameters can be assigned one or more |
---|
71 | values, depending on the type and size the variable has. The following |
---|
72 | example shows the format of the file |
---|

126 | are separated into four |

127 | different groups which all start with the so-called NAMELIST group |
---|
128 | names. |
---|
129 | These are <span style="font-family: monospace;">&inipar</span>, |
---|
130 | <span style="font-family: monospace;">&d3par</span> |
---|
131 | and <span style="font-family: monospace;">&packagename</span> |
---|
132 | as well as <span style="font-family: monospace;">&userpar</span>. |
---|
133 | In each case a |
---|
134 | group is terminated with one backslash ("/"). Between the beginning of |
---|
135 | the line and the group name at least one blank has to be typed. Between |
---|
136 | the |
---|
137 | group names and the "/", the |
---|
138 | values are assigned to the variables. The example shows that in |
---|
139 | principle all FORTRAN data types are allowed. For more details |
---|
140 | concerning the NAMELIST syntax, refer to |
---|
141 | appropriate FORTRAN manuals. <br> |

146 | <p style="line-height: 100%;">Parameters |
---|
147 | belonging to the group <span style="font-family: monospace;">inipar</span> |
---|
148 | are first read by PALM. |
---|
149 | These are the initialization parameters. Second, the so-called run |
---|
150 | parameters belonging to the group <span style="font-family: monospace;">d3par</span> |
---|
151 | are read in, then the parameters for steering the optional software |

152 | packages (group <span style="font-family: monospace;">packagename,</span> |
---|
153 | the string <span style="font-family: monospace;">"packagename"</span> |
---|
154 | must be replaced by the NAMELIST |
---|
155 | group name of the respective package) as well as user-defined |
---|
156 | parameters |
---|
157 | (group <span style="font-family: monospace;">userpar</span>). |
---|
158 | The four |
---|
159 | groups must be given in this order, the last groups, <span style="font-family: monospace;">packagename</span> and |
---|
160 | <span style="font-family: monospace;">userpar</span>, |
---|
161 | may |
---|
162 | be omitted. If several software packages are selected |
---|
163 | (see chapter <a href="chapter_3.7.html">3.7</a>), |
---|
164 | further NAMELIST groups may be inserted before the group <span style="font-family: monospace;">userpar</span>. |
---|
165 | </p> |
---|
166 | |
---|
167 | <p style="line-height: 100%;"><b>The |
---|
168 | initialization, run</b> and |

170 | |

171 | |

174 | <li> |

175 | |

176 | <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;">The <b>initialization |
---|
177 | parameters </b>are steering the basic settings of the model run. |
---|
178 | They |
---|
179 | define e.g. the number of the grid points, the numerical schemes to be |
---|
180 | used, initial and boundary conditions to be applied, how the |
---|
181 | three-dimensional fields are initialized at the beginning of a model |
---|
182 | run (constant value profiles or 1D-model-pre-run, the initial |
---|
183 | temperature profile etc.). These parameters apply to the total model |
---|
184 | run and thus can not be changed with restart runs! If one tries to |
---|
185 | change these values within the NAMELIST input file of a restart run, |
---|
186 | then these changes are ignored (sole exception is the parameter <a style="font-family: monospace;" href="chapter_4.1.html#initializing_actions">initializing_actions</a><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2">, </font>which |
---|

198 | <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;">The <b>run |

199 | parameters</b> are generally steering actions to be carried out |
---|
200 | during |
---|
201 | a model run. One can select for example, at which times plot output |
---|
202 | should happen and which variables are to be written. Additionally one |
---|
203 | can (and must) specify the time to be simulated. Run parameters only |
---|
204 | apply to the actual run (job) and with each restart run other values |
---|
205 | may be declared (if runs are restarted automatically, parameters will |
---|
206 | usually keep their values, provided that the NAMELIST input file was |

207 | not changed by the user in the meantime). <br> |

---|
229 | (see <a href="chapter_3.5.2.html">chapter |
---|
230 | 3.5.2</a>). They steer actions programmed by the user. By |
---|
231 | default, |
---|
232 | this group has only one parameter (<a href="chapter_4.3.html#region">region</a>). |
---|
233 | If the |
---|
234 | user don't want to assign any values to the user-defined |
---|
235 | parameters, the group<span style="font-family: monospace;"> |

236 | userpar |

237 | </span>may be omitted. The group name <span style="font-family: monospace;">&userpar</span> |
---|
238 | can be changed by the user in the user-defined code. In |
---|
239 | addition to this, further NAMELIST groups may also be declared (all |
---|
240 | within routine <span style="font-family: monospace;">user_parin</span> |
