 Simulation time of precursor run.\\\\
 Sets the time period a precursor run shall run uncoupled. This parameter is used to set up the precursor run control for atmosphere-ocean-coupled runs. It has to be set individually to the atmospheric / oceanic precursor run. The time in the data output will show negative values during the precursor run. See documentation for further information.

+External pressure gradient switch.\\\\
+This parameter is used to switch on/off an external pressure gradient as driving force. The external pressure gradient is controlled by the parameters [#dp_smooth dp_smooth], [#dp_level_b dp_level_b] and [#dpdxy dpdxy].\\\\
+Note that '''dp_external''' = ''.T.'' requires [#conserve_volume_flow conserve_volume_flow] = ''.F.''. It is normally recommended to disable the Coriolis force by setting [#omega omega] = ''0.0''.

+Lower limit of the vertical range for which the external pressure gradient is applied (in m).\\\\
+This parameter only applies if [#dp_external dp_external] = ''.T.''. It must hold the condition zu(0) <= '''dp_level_b''' <= zu([#nz nz]). It can be used in combination with [#dp_smooth dp_smooth] = ''.T.'' to generate a non-accelerated boundary layer well below '''dp_level_b''' if '''dp_level_b''' >> 0.\\\\
+Note that there is no upper limit of the vertical range because the external pressure gradient is always applied up to the top of the model domain.
