| 11 | NetCDF data output <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"></span></font></h4> |
|---|
| 12 | <p style="line-height: 100%;">The standard data output of |
|---|
| 13 | PALM is NetCDF (<span style="font-weight: bold;">Net</span>work |
|---|
| 14 | <span style="font-weight: bold;">C</span>ommon <span style="font-weight: bold;">D</span>ata <span style="font-weight: bold;">F</span>orm). NetCDF is an |
|---|
| 15 | interface to a library of data access functions<br>for |
|---|
| 16 | storing and retrieving data in the form of arrays. NetCDF is an |
|---|
| 17 | abstraction that supports a view of data as a collection of |
|---|
| 18 | self-describing, <span style="font-weight: bold;">portable</span> |
|---|
| 19 | objects that can be accessed through a simple interface (protable means |
|---|
| [62] | 20 | that NetCDF data files can be read on any machine regardless of where |
|---|
| 21 | they |
|---|
| [5] | 22 | have been created). Array values may be accessed directly, without |
|---|
| 23 | knowing details of how the data are stored. Auxiliary information about |
|---|
| 24 | the data, such as what units are used, may be stored with the data. |
|---|
| 25 | Generic utilities and application programs can access NetCDF datasets |
|---|
| 26 | (files) and transform, combine, analyze, or display specified fields of |
|---|
| 27 | the data, e.g. the contents of a NetCDF dataset can be viewed using the |
|---|
| 28 | command <span style="font-family: monospace;">ncdump</span> |
|---|
| 29 | (see <a href="#ncdump">further below</a>). |
|---|
| 30 | Many (public domain) graphic software has built in interfaces to read |
|---|
| [62] | 31 | NetCDF datasets (e.g. <span style="font-weight: bold;">ferret</span> |
|---|
| 32 | or <span style="font-weight: bold;">NCL</span>). |
|---|
| 33 | The complete NetCDF documentation |
|---|
| [5] | 34 | is available from the <a href="http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/docs.html">NetCDF |
|---|
| 35 | homepage</a>. The NetCDF tutorial for FORTRAN90 can also be found |
|---|
| 36 | on <a href="http://www.muk.uni-hannover.de/%7Eraasch/PALM_group/manual/netcdf/netcdf-3_f90_tutorial.pdf">our |
|---|
| 37 | web server</a>.</p><p style="line-height: 100%;">The |
|---|
| 38 | output format of PALM data is determined by the runtime-parameter <a href="chapter_4.2.html#data_output_format">data_output_format</a> |
|---|
| 39 | (<span style="font-weight: bold;">data_output_format</span> |
|---|
| 40 | = <span style="font-style: italic;">'netcdf'</span>, |
|---|
| 41 | by default). For historical reasons, some alternative formats can be |
|---|
| 42 | selected (see <a href="chapter_4.2.html#data_output_format">data_output_format</a>). |
|---|
| 43 | The accuracy of the NetCDF output data can be set with parameter <a href="chapter_4.1.html#netcdf_precision">netcdf_precision</a>. |
|---|
| 44 | By default, data have single (4 byte) precision. Also by default, |
|---|
| 45 | NetCDF datasets (files) are not allowed to be larger than 2 GByte. |
|---|
| 46 | Larger datasets can be created by setting <a href="chapter_4.2.html#netcdf_64bit">netcdf_64bit</a> |
|---|
| 47 | = <span style="font-style: italic;">.TRUE.</span>. |
|---|
| 48 | These files then have the so-called 64bit-offset format. However, |
|---|
| 49 | currently, many of the existing application programs may not support |
|---|
| 50 | this 64-bit offset format.<br></p>PALM allows the output of |
|---|
| 51 | various |
|---|
| 52 | data (e.g. cross sections, vertical profiles, timeseries, etc.) into |
|---|
| 53 | different files. The following table gives an overview about the |
|---|
| 54 | different kind of NetCDF output data offered by PALM. Beside the local |
|---|
| [62] | 55 | names of the files, the table also lists the minimum parameter settings |
|---|
| 56 | which |
|---|
| [5] | 57 | are necessary to switch on the output, as well as the parameters to be |
|---|
| 58 | used to control the output.<br><br><table style="text-align: left; width: 750px; height: 226px;" border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2"><tbody><tr><td align="left" valign="top"><span style="font-weight: bold;">kind of data</span></td><td align="left" valign="top"><span style="font-weight: bold;">local filename</span></td><td align="left" valign="top"><span style="font-weight: bold;">parameter settings necessary to |

| 279 | which is also available at HLRN (see the <a href="http://www.hlrn.de/doc/ncview/index.html">HLRN |
|---|
| 280 | documentation</a>). Beside these general tools, the PALM group |
|---|
| 281 | will develop a graphical interface based on <a href="http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/">NCL</a> |
|---|
| 282 | (NCAR Command Language). This interface will be specially |

| 283 | designed |

| 285 | as soon as available.<br><br><br></li><li><a name="netcdf_example_program"></a>One |
|---|
| 286 | of the most flexible general ways for postprocessing NetCDF data |
|---|
| [62] | 287 | is reading these data into a FORTRAN program. The <a href="http://www.muk.uni-hannover.de/%7Eraasch/PALM_group/INSTALL/read_palm_netcdf_data.f90"><font color="#000080">example program</font></a> shows |
|---|
| 288 | how to read 2d or 3d NetCDF datasets created by PALM. Compiling this |
|---|
| 289 | program requires that the |
|---|
| [5] | 290 | NetCDF library is installed (if neccessary, please ask your system |
|---|
| [62] | 291 | administrator). Some compilation instructions are given in the header |
|---|
| 292 | of the |
|---|
| [5] | 293 | example program.<br><br><br></li><li>By |
|---|
| 294 | default, each PALM job creates its own NetCDF files. If permanent files |
|---|
| 295 | with respective filenames are already existing then new files with |
|---|
| 296 | higher cycle numbers will be created. However, in case of a job chain, |
|---|
| 297 | it is possible to extend the NetCDF datasets created by the initial |
|---|
| [62] | 298 | run with data from the restart run(s). As a result, data of |
|---|
| 299 | all |
|---|
| [5] | 300 | output times of the complete job chain are contained in one file and |
|---|
| 301 | the number of data files to be handled by the user may be reduced |
|---|
| [62] | 302 | significantly.<br>To extend a NetCDF dataset (created by a |
|---|
| 303 | previous run |
|---|
| [5] | 304 | of a job chain) with data from the current run requires that this |
|---|
| 305 | dataset must be provided as an INPUT file. This may be difficult in |
|---|
| 306 | case that PALM is running on a remote host because typically the output |
|---|
| [62] | 307 | data files from the previous run have been already transferred by <span style="font-weight: bold;">mrun</span> to the local |
|---|
| 308 | workstation with a file connection statement like<br><br><span style="font-family: monospace;"> |
|---|
| 309 | DATA_2D_XY_NETCDF |
|---|
| 310 | out:loc:tr xy#:xyf |
|---|
| 311 | ~/palm/current_version/JOBS/$fname/OUTPUT |
|---|
| 312 | _xy nc</span><br><br>and thus |
|---|
| 313 | they are not available on the remote host any more. <br>A |
|---|
| [5] | 314 | workaround for solving this problem is to create an additional copy of |
|---|
| 315 | the output file on the remote machine by adding the file connection |
|---|
| [62] | 316 | statement<br><br><span style="font-family: monospace;"> |
|---|
| 317 | DATA_2D_XY_NETCDF out:loc xy#:xyf |
|---|
| 318 | ~/palm/current_version/JOBS/$fname/OUTPUT _xy nc</span><br><br>This |
|---|
| 319 | additional copy can then be accessed from a restart job as an input |
|---|
| 320 | file using the file connection statement<br><br><span style="font-family: monospace;"> |
|---|
| 321 | DATA_2D_XY_NETCDF in:locopt xyf |
|---|
| 322 | ~/palm/current_version/JOBS/$fname/OUTPUT _xy nc</span><br><br>Here |
|---|
| 323 | the file attribut <span style="font-family: monospace;">locopt</span> |
|---|
| [5] | 324 | (2nd column) guarantees that the job continues if a permanent file does |
|---|
| 325 | not exist (e.g. in case of an initial run). Otherwise, the job would be |
|---|
| [62] | 326 | aborted.<br>Although the dataset created by the last run of a job |
|---|
| 327 | chain |
|---|
| [5] | 328 | will contain data from all selected time levels of the complete job |
|---|
| 329 | chain, the main disadvantage of this workaround is that the datasets |
|---|
| 330 | created by the remaining jobs (with lower cycle numbers) still exist |
|---|
| 331 | and may consume large disc space. They have to be deleted "by hand" by |
|---|
| 332 | the user on the local machine as well as on the remote |
|---|
| [62] | 333 | machine because they only contain redundant data from the |
|---|
| 334 | earlier |
|---|
| 335 | time levels which are already contained in the dataset created |
|---|
| 336 | by |
|---|
| 337 | the last job of the job chain.<br><br><span style="font-weight: bold;">Note:</span><br>Extension |

| 343 | the job protocol file and the dataset will contain only data from those |
