 == PALM Input Data Standard (PIDS) ==
-PALM provides a standardized way to input e.g. global attributes, topography data or surface properties, vegetation properties, etc., as well as initialization data and boundary conditions for the prognostic variables via the NetCDF data format. In the following, these files are referred to as so-called '''drivers'''.

In the following, these files are referred to as so-called '''drivers'''. 
 
 All available input variables are listed and explained in the following pages and additional remarks on restrictions and initialization are given.

 PALM comes with two tools that can help to create the static driver:
 
-1. You can use the python script [source:palm/trunk/SCRIPTS/create_basic_static_driver.py create_static_driver] as a starting point for creating your own static driver. The script contains an example how to populate the driver with generic topography.

The tool [source:palm/trunk/SCRIPTS/palm_csd palm_csd] tool has been developed in the course of [http://uc2-mosaik.org the MOSAIK project], and which allows to create comprehensive static driver files, but which relies on pre-processed NetCDF data. For the German cities of Berlin and Hamburg the required data can be provided on request (hettrich@muk.uni-hannover.de). You can adapt the script for other cities. For a detailed documentation, see [./palm_csd palm_csd documentation].

 == Preparation of the dynamic driver ==
-To create a dynamic driver, PALM provides the pre-processing tool [wiki:doc/app/iofiles/inifor INIFOR], which extracts 1D/3D initialization data for the soil and atmosphere as well as boundary data for the PALM domain from DWD-COSMO output and the tool [wiki:doc/app/iofiles/wrf_interface WRF interface], which extracts meteorological and chemical initialization and boundary data from WRF and CAMx outputs.

Alternatively, the tool [wiki:doc/app/iofiles/wrf_interface WRF interface] can be used to extract meteorological and chemical initialization and boundary data from WRF and CAMx outputs.
