 PALM-4U provides a standardized way via the NetCDF data format 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.
+PALM provides a standardized way via the NetCDF data format 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.
 Input variables are distinguished between [#static_input static], [#dynamic_input dynamic], [#rad_input radiation] and [#chem_input chemistry] input variables, while for each a separate input file exists.

 An example NCL-script to create a simple [[attachment:example_static|static input file]] can be found
 [[attachment:example_driver_static.ncl|here]].
 To create a dynamic driver, PALM-4U 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-4U domain from DWD-COSMO output.
 After reading the input files, PALM-4U performs consistency checks on the provided data.

 All applied input variables are listed and explained below and additional remarks on restrictions and initialization are given.
 Please note, this documentation does not comprise all possible global and variables attributes, only those which are required for read by PALM.

 The dynamic input file (see [../#PIDS_DYNAMIC PIDS_DYNAMIC]) comprises all data which might change depending on the day of year, such as initialization data, large-scale forcing tendencies or boundary data.
 Utilizing the pre-processing tool [wiki:doc/app/iofiles/inifor INIFOR], the respective data can be derived directly from the larger-scale [[http://www.cosmo-model.org/content/default.htm|COSMO model]] (except for active or passive chemical components which are not considered in the COSMO model). This way, the dynamic input file acts as a interface between a larger-scale model and PALM-4U, being a so-called [../../inipar/#nesting_offline offline nesting].

This way, the dynamic input file acts as a interface between a larger-scale model and PALM, being a so-called [../../inipar/#nesting_offline offline nesting].
 In case of a [../../nestpar nested] model run (online), only the parent domain considers the dynamic input_file for inititialization and offline-nesting, while embedded child models itself will be initialized and forced via its parent domains.
 In order to activate input from the dynamic input file, setting of [../../inipar#initializing_actions initializing_actions] = 'inifor' is required.
