     1883is not allowed to increase during the run, when the NetCDF3 data format
     1884is used, because NetCDF3 allows only one unlimited dimension, which is
     1885the time dimension. Anyhow, PALM tries to increase the size of the
     1886particle array, if the number of particles in a subdomain becomes
     1887larger than the size of this array. This may happen because of a flow
     1888convergence or because new sets of particles are released (see <a href="chapter_4.2.html#dt_prel">dt_prel</a>).<br>
