+      <p>This file contains the data of the time series written by the
+model (see <a href="chapter_4.2.html#data_output_ts">data_output_ts</a>)
+in a format readable by <a href="http://www.muk.uni-hannover.de/institut/software/profil_beschreibung.html">profil</a>.
+The data can only be visualized with <span style="font-weight: bold;">profil</span>
+using NAMELIST parameter sets, which are written by
+the model to the local file <a href="#PLOTTS_PAR">PLOTTS_PAR</a>.&nbsp;
+      </p>
+      <p>Regardless of the (sub)set of time series specified by <a href="chapter_4.2.html#data_output_ts">data_output_ts</a>
+for actual output, this file allways contains all possible time series.
+They are arranged next to each other in 22 columns. The
+first column contains the time in s. With initial runs the
+variables in the individual columns are described in the comment lines
+at the beginning of the file (see also <a href="chapter_4.2.html#data_output_ts">data_output_ts</a>).
+The text of these comment lines is used as a legend in the plot. The
+first line of the file is a comment line in case of initial runs
+and contains information about the used model version, the run
+identifier (base file name + number of the respective restart run),
+the name of the executing computer, as well as the date and time of the
+beginning of the run. At the end of this comment line is the name of
+the
+subdomain, to which the time series belong (see <a href="chapter_4.1.html#statistic_regions">statistic_regions</a>).
+By default, it is the &ldquo;total domain&rdquo;, i.e. the time series
+apply to the whole model domain. If the model has to produce profiles
+for subdomains, up to 9 further files (units No. 51-59) are
+produced. The file names include the number of the respective
+subdomain (e.g. PLOTTS_DATA_1). In this case the name of the file with
+the data of the total domain is PLOTTS_DATA_0.&nbsp; </p>
+      <p>Time series data of restart runs <b>must
+always</b> be attached to existing data of preceding runs of a job
+chain, because
+they do not contain comment lines (see above) and otherwise are not
+visualizable with <span style="font-weight: bold;">profil</span>. Time
+series plotted with <span style="font-weight: bold;">profil</span>
+therefore always begin with t=0. An appending of the data to one file
+is
+obtained with the file attribute <a href="http://www.muk.uni-hannover.de/institut/software/mrun_beschreibung.html#tra">tra</a>
+in the file connection statement. <br>

+CROSS-parameter sets (NAMELIST- group names <span style="font-style: normal;">&amp;RAHMEN and/or &amp;CROSS</span>)
+needed by <span style="font-weight: bold;">profil</span>. These
+parameter sets (and thus all details of the layout) can be edited after
+the model run by the user. By
+default, all time series are drawn in different panels on one page. The
+grouping is model-internally fixed and can only be
+changed manually later. Only those time series specified by the
+parameter <a href="chapter_4.2.html#data_output_ts">data_output_ts</a>
+are actually drawn.&nbsp; </p>
+      <p>The file PLOTTS_PAR is allways produced by the model at
+the beginning and at the end of a run, whereby at the end of the run
+the file produced at the beginning is overwritten. Any later file
+differs from the initial file by the fact that it additionally contains
+ranges of values for the axes of coordinates. If a model run crashes
+uncontrolled (e.g. run time error or CPU - time exceeded) a
+parameter file is still available and the (incomplete) time
+series can - contrary to the vertical profiles - nevertheless be
+plotted.&nbsp; </p>
+      <p>If the model is to produce time series for different
+subdomains (see <a href="chapter_4.1.html#statistic_regions">statistic_regions</a>),
+further files are output , whereby the file name gets an additionally
+underline and the number of the respective subdomain is appended (e.g.
+PLOTTS_PAR_1). The name of the file with NAMELIST-parameters for the
+total domain in this case&nbsp; reads PLOTTS_PAR_0.&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>
