-INIFOR mirrors a subset of the PALM-4U's Fortran namelists `initialization_parameters` and `runtime_parameters` and supports the following parameters. Note that, at the moment, INIFOR uses the old namelist descriptors `inipar` and `d3par` instead, which are the descriptors used in previous versions of PALM.
