7model works
8with a set of files, which are all located in the temporary working
9directory and which are either expected at the beginning of the run
10(the so-called input files) or which are
11produced during the run and/or at the end of the simulation (output
12files).</font><font color="#800000">

16associated FORTRAN unit (unit number).</font> </font><font color="#000000">The
17unit 90 is used for different files, which are opened only briefly
18and uniquely in the model and closed directly afterwards.
19Unit numbers 101 - 109, 111 - 113, and 116&nbsp;refer to data files
20which have NetCDF format.
21These are not opened by a FORTRAN-OPEN-statement but by a corresponding
22NetCDF call (NF90_CREATE or NF90_OPEN). These files are only created on
23machines where a NetCDF library is available.<br>
24</font></p><p style="line-height: 100%;"><font color="#000000">The file
25names described in the list correspond to the names indicated in the
26respective OPEN instruction, i.e. the files are expected and saved
27under these names in the temporary working directory of the model. By
28default, file names are always written in capital letters. The
29third column indicates whether it is an input or output file (I
30and/or O). The NetCDF files can be both input and output files (I/O).
31If restart jobs shall append data to an existing NetCDF file (created
32by a previous job of the job chain), the respective file has to be
33given as an input file (see also <a href="../app/chapter_4.5.1.html">chapter
344.5.1</a> which gives more details about the PALM-NetCDF-output).</font>

36<p style="line-height: 100%;"> </p><p style="line-height: 100%;"><font color="#000000">On
37parallel
38computers many of the files are read and/or written by the central
39processing element 0 (PE0) only. These files have processor-independent
40content (and therefore they can be read or written by other
41PEs just as well). However, certain files have processor-dependent
42content. For the binary output of data for restart runs (local file
43<a href="#BINOUT">BINOUT</a>),
44for example, <font color="#000000">each PE outputs only
45the data of
46its subdomain. So each processing element writes
47into its own file with its own file name. These files lie in a
48subdirectory of the temporary working directory. Their names are build
49off from the underline ("_ ") and the four digit
50processor ID. The data written for restart runs would be e.g. on the
51files BINOUT/_0000 (PE0), BINOUT/_0001 (PE1), BINOUT/_0002 (PE2) etc.
52Such files, which have processor-dependent content on parallel
53computers, are marked in the following list by the fact, that to the
54file name a line (&rdquo;/&ldquo;) is attached. If appropriate
55output
56files are to be copied through <b>mrun</b> to permanent
57files, and/or

963.3</a>). The appropriate file must have been written by the
97preceding
98job of the job chain (see <a href="#BINOUT">BINOUT</a>).
99This file contains the initial parameters (see <a href="chapter_4.1.html">chapter
1004.1</a>) of the job chain, arrays of the prognostic and
101diagnostic
102variables as well as those parameters and variables for plots of
103horizontally averaged vertical profiles (see <a href="chapter_4.2.html#data_output_pr">data_output_pr</a>),
104which have been determined by the job chain so far. Concerning runs on
105several processors it has to be noted that each processing element
106reads its own file and the file content is processor-dependent. The
107number of processors which can be used must not be changed during a job
108chain and/or if a job chain is continued.&nbsp; </p> <p>Knowledge
109of the file structure is usually not necessary,
110because the file is produced and also read again by the model, but it
111can be useful for error determination in case of read errors .
112Therefore the file structure is described in the following.&nbsp; </p>
113<p>The first record of this file contains a version number (ten
114character string) of the subroutine, which, which output the data that
115follows (write_var_list.f90). This number has to
116agree with the version number subroutine which is reading the file
117(read_var_list.f90) in case of a restart run. Otherwise the model run
118is aborted. Version numbers are changed whenever new code revisions
119require a change of the file format.&nbsp; </p> <p>Starting
120from the second record, all initial parameters follow
121(exception: <a href="chapter_4.1.html#initializing_actions">initializing_actions</a>),
122whereby each parameter fills two records. In the first record the name
123of the parameter is saved as a character string (30 characters long,
124short names are filled by trailing blanks, longer names are cut off at
125the end), in the second record the value (or the values) of the
126parameter follow. The sequence of parameters on the file may be
127arbitrary, however the first and second variable must be <a href="chapter_4.1.html#nz">nz</a>
128and <a href="chapter_4.1.html#statistic_regions">statistic_regions</a>.
129If a variable with unknown name is found the model run is
130aborted.&nbsp; </p> <p>At the end of the initial
131parameters a record with the string "<i>***
132end ***</i>"follows (filled up with trailing blanks up to a
133length of
13430 characters).&nbsp; </p> <p>Afterwards the fields
135of the prognostic and diagnostic
136variables follow. This part of the file also begins with a record
137consisting of a character string of length 10, which contains the
138version number of the subroutine that wrote the arrays that follow
139(write_3d_binary.f90). It must agree with the number of the reading
140subroutine (read_3d_binary.f90).&nbsp; </p> <p>The
141following record contains the number of processors which
142were used in the model run producing this file, the processor ID of the
143special processor, which creates the file, as well as the lower and
144upper array indices of the subdomain belonging to this processing
145element. If no complete agreement with the values of the current model
146run exists, then this is aborted. This examination must be made in
147particular on parallel computers, because the jobs of a job chain
148always have to use the same number of processors and the same virtual
149processor grid.&nbsp; </p> <p>After these tests the
150individual arrays as well as parameters
151and variables for plots of horizontally averaged vertical profiles
152follow. Like the initialization parameters, they consist of two
153records. In the first record, the name of the array or the variable
154(character string, consisting of 20 characters, filled with trailing
155blanks) is located, in the second one its values follow. The sequence
156of the individual variables may be arbitrary again. The parameters for
157the plot and the respective variables are only read in if for the run
158parameter <a href="chapter_4.2.html#use_prior_plot1d_parameters">use_prior_plot1d_parameters</a>
159= <i>.TRUE</i> is selected, otherwise they will be
160skipped.&nbsp; </p> <p>At the end of the file there
161has to be a record with the
162character string "<span style="font-style: italic;"></span><i>***

684-) file, the content of the file PLOT3D_FLD_COOR must be appended to
685the file PLOT3D_FLD by the user after the end of the model run (e.g.
686with an appropriate OUTPUT - command in the MRUN - configuration file: "<span style="font-family: monospace;">cat PLOT3D_FLD_COOR

698OUTPUT - command in the MRUN-configuration file. The tool
699writes informative messages about the accomplished actions into
700the job protocol (e.g., even if no files were
701found). By the call of <tt><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2">combine_plot_fields.x</font></tt>
702also possibly existing files with two-dimensional plot data (see e.g. <a href="#PLOT2D_XY">PLOT2D_XY</a>)

815Within the file, data

830By subsequent editing of the file PLOT1D_PAR all profiles can be
831plotted (also the basic layout of the plots can be
832changed). For orientation, each profile existing on the file
833PLOT1D_DATA, starts with a comment line, which indicates the
834presented variable and the output time. The text of these comment
835lines is used as a legend in the plot. The very first line of the file
836is a
837comment line, containing information about the used model version, the
838run identifier (base file name + number of the respective restart
839run), the name of the executing computer, as well as the date and time
840of the beginning of the run. At the end of this comment line is the
841name
842of the subdomain, to which the profiles belong (see <a href="chapter_4.1.html#statistic_regions">statistic_regions</a>).
843By default, the profiles present averages of the total model domain. If
844the model has to produce profiles for other subdomains beyond that, up
845to 9 further files (units No. 41-49) are created, whereby the number of
846the respective subdomain is attached
847to the file name (e.g. PLOT1D_DATA_1). The name of the file with the
848data of the total
849domain in this case reads PLOT1D_DATA_0.&nbsp; </p> <p>For
850presentation in the same plot, profile data of the restart

964job of the job chain (see <a href="#PARTICLE_RESTART_DATA_OUT">PARTICLE_RESTART_DATA_OUT</a>).
965This file is needed if particle transport is switched on (see the <a href="chapter_4.2.html#particles_package">particles
966package</a>) and contains all particle informations (particle
967positions, velocities, etc.) from the end of the preceding run.
968Concerning runs on
969several processors it has to be noted that each processing element
970reads its own file and that the file content is processor-dependent.
971The
972number of processors which can be used must not be changed during a job
973chain and/or if a job chain is continued. <br> <br>
974The first record of this file contains a version number (four character
975string) of the subroutine, which output the data that follows (<span style="font-family: monospace;">write_particles</span>,
976see end of
977file <span style="font-family: monospace;">advec_particles.f90</span>).
978This number has to
979agree with the version number of the subroutine which is reading the
980file
981(<span style="font-family: monospace;">init_parrticles.f90</span>)
982in
983case of a restart run. Otherwise the model run
984is aborted. Version numbers are changed whenever new code revisions
985require a change of the file format. Some general informations like the
986number of particles stored in the file, the number of particle groups,
987etc.. are stored in the second record. The third record includes the
988particles to be released at the source and the fourth record contains
989all current particles. In case that particle tails are used (see <a href="chapter_4.2.html#maximum_number_of_tailpoints">maximum_number_of_tailpoints</a>),
990a further record may follow, which contains the particle tail
991informations. A FORTRAN TYPE structure is used for storing the particle
992attributes. For detailed informations about the file format see the
993corresponding READ statements in file <span style="font-family: monospace;">init_particles.f90</span>

1027needed by <span style="font-weight: bold;">profil</span>.
1028These parameter sets (and thus all details of the plot layout) can be
1029edited after the model run by the user. By default, all profiles of one
1030variable saved at different times are drawn into one panel. Different
1031colors are used for each output time. Which profiles are drawn
1032into which plane and how these planes are arranged on the
1033plot, is determined with the parameters <a href="chapter_4.2.html#cross_profiles">cross_profiles</a>,
1034<a href="chapter_4.2.html#profile_columns">profile_columns</a>
1035and <a href="chapter_4.2.html#profile_rows">profile_rows</a>.&nbsp;
1036</p> <p>The file PLOT1D_PAR is created by the model
1037briefly before
1038the end of a run. If a model run crashes uncontrolled (run time
1039errors or CPU - time exceeded), this file is usually missing, although
1040profile data were saved to the file PLOT1D_DATA.&nbsp; </p> <p>If
1041the model has to create profiles for different subdomains
1042(see <a href="chapter_4.1.html#statistic_regions">statistic_regions</a>),
1043further files are created, whereby the file name includes the number of
1044the respective subdomain (e.g. PLOT1D_PAR_1). In this case the name of
1045the file with NAMELIST parameters of the total domain is
1046PLOT1D_PAR_0.&nbsp; </p> <p>For presentation in the
1047same plot, profile data of the restart
1048runs can be appended to existing data of preceding runs of a job chain.
1049One can do this with the file attribute <a href="http://www.muk.uni-hannover.de/institut/software/mrun_beschreibung.html#tra">tra</a>
1050in the file connection statement for PLOT1D_DATA. The model produces
1051a parameter file PLOT1D_PAR for these combined data, if the run

1065This file contains the so-called global parameter set (NAMELIST - group
1066name: &amp;GLOBAL) needed by <span style="font-weight: bold;">iso2d</span>.
1067This parameter set can be edited
1068after the model run by the user. By default, the arrays are drawn using
1069isolines and each array
1070will be drawn onto a separate page (thus no color shading
1071presentation, no vector arrows, streamlines etc.).&nbsp; </p>
1072<p>Additionally <span style="font-weight: bold;">iso2d</span>
1073needs the so-called local parameter
1074sets. These are saved by the model to the local file <a href="#PLOT2D_XY_LOCAL">PLOT2D_XY_LOCAL</a>.
1075Due to the fact that <span style="font-weight: bold;">iso2d</span>
1076expects global and local parameter sets on one and the same
1077file, in fact the global parameter set first, the user has to append
1078the contents of the file PLOT2D_XY_LOCAL to the file PLOT2D_XY_GLOBAL
1079before call of <span style="font-weight: bold;">iso2d</span>
1080(e.g. by
1081an OUTPUT - command in the MRUN -
1082configuration file: &ldquo;cat PLOT2D_XY_LOCAL &gt;&gt;
1083PLOT2D_XY_GLOBAL&rdquo;).
1084This
1085relatively pedantic proceedure is due to the fact that the model can
1086create the file PLOT2D_XY_GLOBAL only at the end of the simulation
1087(only then, when the final value of the global <span style="font-weight: bold;">iso2d</span>-parameter <a href="http://www.muk.uni-hannover.de/institut/software/iso2d_beschreibung.html#PLANZ">planz</a>
1088is known), while the local parameter sets are written continuously
1089to the file PLOT2D_XY_LOCAL during the run. Since the file
1090PLOT2D_XY_GLOBAL needs to be addressed only briefly once, output-unit
109190 is used, which is also used for other files.</p> </td> </tr>
