| [5] | 271 | the appropriate data are written to the local file <a href="chapter_3.4.html#PLOT1D_DATA">PLOT1D_DATA</a>. |
|---|
| 272 | Simultaneously, the model produces a parameter file (local name <a href="chapter_3.4.html#PLOT1D_PAR">PLOT1D_PAR</a>) |
|---|
| 273 | which describes the layout for a plot to be generated with the plot |

| [48] | 274 | program <span style="font-weight: bold;">profil</span>. |
|---|
| 275 | The parameter <b>cross_profiles</b> |
|---|
| [5] | 276 | determines how many coordinate systems (panels) the plot contains and |
|---|
| 277 | which profiles are supposed to be drawn into which panel. <b>cross_profiles</b> |
|---|
| 278 | expects a character string (up to 100 characters long) for each |
|---|
| 279 | coordinate system, which consists of the names of the profiles to be |
|---|
| 280 | drawn into this system (all available profiles and their respective |
|---|
| 281 | names are described at parameter <a href="#data_output_pr">data_output_pr</a>). |
|---|
| 282 | The single names have to be separated by one blank (' ') and a blank |
|---|
| [48] | 283 | must be spent also at the beginning and at the end of the |
|---|
| 284 | string. </p> <p>Example: </p> <ul> |

| 285 | <p><b>cross_profiles</b> = <span style="font-family: monospace; font-style: italic;">' u v ', |
|---|
| 286 | ' pt '</span></p> </ul> <p>In this case the |
|---|
| 287 | plot consists of two coordinate systems |
|---|
| [5] | 288 | (panels) with the first panel containing the profiles of the horizontal |
|---|
| [48] | 289 | velocity components (<span style="font-style: italic;">'u'</span> |
|---|
| 290 | and <span style="font-style: italic;">'v'</span>) |
|---|
| 291 | of all output times (see <a href="#dt_dopr">dt_dopr</a>) |
|---|
| [5] | 292 | and the second one containing the profiles of the potential temperature |
|---|
| 293 | (<span style="font-style: italic;">'pt'</span>).<br> |
|---|
| [48] | 294 | </p> <p>Whether the coordinate systems are actually drawn, |
|---|
| 295 | depends on |
|---|
| [5] | 296 | whether data of the appropriate profiles were output during the run |
|---|
| 297 | (profiles to be output have to be selected with the parameter <a href="#data_output_pr">data_output_pr</a>). |
|---|
| [48] | 298 | For example if <b>data_output_pr</b> = <span style="font-style: italic;">'u'</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">'v'</span> was assigned, |
|---|
| 299 | then |
|---|
| [5] | 300 | the plot only consists of one panel, since no profiles of the potential |
|---|
| 301 | temperature were output. On the other hand, if profiles were assigned |
|---|
| 302 | to <b>data_output_pr </b>whose names do not appear in <b>cross_profiles</b>, |
|---|
| 303 | then the respective profile data are output (<a href="chapter_3.4.html#PLOT1D_DATA">PLOT1D_DATA</a>) |
