| 1 | INIFOR - Initialization and Forcing of PALM-4U (v1.1.5) |
|---|
| 2 | |
|---|
| 3 | INIFOR provides the meteorological fields required to initialize and drive the |
|---|
| 4 | urban-climate model PALM-4U. The required meteorological fields are |
|---|
| 5 | interpolated from output data of the meso-scale model COSMO. |
|---|
| 6 | |
|---|
| 7 | COMPILATION |
|---|
| 8 | |
|---|
| 9 | 1. Customize ./Makefile and ./tests/Makefile (netCDF library location, compiler |
|---|
| 10 | and parameters, use Makefile.ifort as a template if you want to use the Intel |
|---|
| 11 | Fortran compiler) |
|---|
| 12 | 2. $ make |
|---|
| 13 | |
|---|
| 14 | USAGE |
|---|
| 15 | |
|---|
| 16 | 1. Customize ./namelist (number or grid points and spacings, end_time) |
|---|
| 17 | 2. $ ./bin/inifor -path <scenario path> -date <YYYYMMDD> -clat <latitude> -clon <longitude> |
|---|
| 18 | |
|---|
| 19 | All COMMAND-LINE PARAMETERS |
|---|
| 20 | |
|---|
| 21 | -date <date>: Start date of the simulation in the form YYYMMDD. Currently, |
|---|
| 22 | INIFOR assumes that the simulation starts at O UTC on that day. |
|---|
| 23 | Default: 20130721 |
|---|
| 24 | |
|---|
| 25 | -hhl <netCDF file>: Location of the netCDF file containing the vertical COSMO-DE |
|---|
| 26 | grid (hhh = height of half layers, i.e. vertical cell faces). |
|---|
| 27 | Default: <scenario path>/hhl.nc |
|---|
| 28 | |
|---|
| 29 | -mode profile: Produce average profiles instead of three-dimensional fields as |
|---|
| 30 | initial conditions. |
|---|
| 31 | |
|---|
| 32 | -n <namelist file>: Location of the PALM-4U namelist file. INIFOR expects the |
|---|
| 33 | file to contain two namelists, inipar and d3par, from which it will read |
|---|
| 34 | grid parameters and the simulation time. Default: ./namelist |
|---|
| 35 | |
|---|
| 36 | -o <ouput file>: Name of the INIFOR output file. Default: ./palm-4u-input.nc |
|---|
| 37 | |
|---|
| 38 | -p0 <pressure>: Surface pressure at z=0 in the PALM-4U domain [Pa]. |
|---|
| 39 | Default: 1e5 Pa = 1000 hPa |
|---|
| 40 | |
|---|
| 41 | -path <scenario path>: Scenario path, i.e. the path of the meteorological input |
|---|
| 42 | data. Default: ./ |
|---|
| 43 | |
|---|
| 44 | -soil <netCDF file>: Location of the netCDF file containing the COSMO-DE soil type |
|---|
| 45 | map. |
|---|
| 46 | Default: <scenario path>/soil.nc |
|---|
| 47 | |
|---|
| 48 | -static <static driver file>: Location of the netCDF file containing the static |
|---|
| 49 | driver file for the case to be simulated with PALM-4U. Optional parameter. |
|---|
| 50 | Default: None |
|---|
| 51 | |
|---|
| 52 | -ug <velocity>: Specifies the geostrophic wind in x direction [m/s]. Default: 0 |
|---|
| 53 | |
|---|
| 54 | -vg <velocity>: Specifies the geostrophic wind in y direction [m/s]. Default: 0 |
|---|
| 55 | |
|---|
| 56 | -z0 <height>: Specifies the elevation of the the PALM-4U domain above sea level [m]. |
|---|
| 57 | Default: 35 m |
|---|
| 58 | |
|---|
