    21 == [=#static_input '''Static input file'''] ==
    22 
    23 The static input file encompasses topography information as well as all necessary information file to initialize all land- and urban-type surfaces in the model, such as heat capacities, roughness, albedo, emissivity, etc..
    24 The initialization procedure for the surfaces follows a multi-step approach, depending on the given level of detail of each variable as provided in the static input file.
    25 In a first step, surfaces are initialized horizontally homogeneous with a bulk classification for each type (e.g. vegetation or soil), either set by a default value or set by a namelist-provided value, while the bulk classification provides standard values for a variety of parameters.
    26 In a second step, surfaces are initialized individually by providing the bulk classification at each grid point individually.
    27 In case more detailed information is available, all or even single parameters can be initialized individually at each grid point.
    28 
    29 The provided input data is used to classify each surface element according to its treatment, i.e. default-, natural- or urban-type, in order to treat each surface element accordingly.
    30 In case no land-surface or urban-surface scheme is applied, all surfaces are classified as default-type.
    31 If a surface element has vegetation, pavement or water, it will be classified as natural-type and is treated by the land-surface scheme, while building surfaces will be treated by the urban-surface scheme.

    174 === [=#surf '''Surface variables''':] ===
    175 
    176 For a proper classification of natural land and water surfaces, [#pavement_type pavement_type], [#soil_type soil_type], [#vegetation_type vegetation_type] and [#water_type water_type] are required, which define bulk parameters for albedo, soil, root distribution, leaf-area density, etc. To enable initialization of the land-surface model with input-file-provided variables, the namelist parameter [../../lsmpar#surface_type surface_type] needs to be set to 'netcdf'. 
    177 In case more than one of the surface types (vegetation, pavement, water) is given at an (x,y) location, the relative fraction of each of the types must be provided by [#surface_fraction surface_fraction].
    178 Further, if the [../../usmpar urban-surface model] is applied, also [#building_type building_type] is required, which defines bulk parameters to run the urban-surface model. Please note, for the sake of consistency, at least one of the variables  [#pavement_type pavement_type], [#vegetation_type vegetation_type], [#water_type water_type] or [#building_type building_type] needs to be defined at each (x,y) location if the land- and urban-surface model is applied.
    179 If only the land-surface model is applied but no urban-surface model, one of [#pavement_type pavement_type], [#vegetation_type vegetation_type] or [#water_type water_type] needs to be defined at each (x,y) location.
    180 Further, in case data is taken from the static input file, both, the land- and urban-surface model need to be either switched on or off. Applying only one of the energy-balance models is not sufficient and will lead to a controlled termination.  \\

    492 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. 
    493 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, being a so-called [../../inipar/#nesting_offline offline nesting].
    494 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.   
    495 In order to activate input from the dynamic input file, setting of [../../inipar#initializing_actions initializing_actions] = 'inifor' is required.
    496 For more information of how to create a dynamic input file, please see the [wiki:doc/app/iofiles/inifor INIFOR documentation].
    497 For more detailed documentation of the input variables, please see [[attachment:PALM_input_data_standard_v1.9.pdf|PALM input data standard]].

    1650 In the following, the required variables will be listed. Please note, NetCDF dimensions of the coordinate variables ''E_UTM'', ''N_UTM'', and ''height_above_origin'' depend on the [#featuretype type] of the measurement. For ''timeseries'', the observation is a stationary one, with only 1 value necessary for sufficient description of the coordinates. For ''timeSeriesProfile'' or ''trajectory'', however, the coordinate variables depend on the dimensions ''tray<id>'' and ''ntime<id>'', being the number of trajectories and the maximum number of timesteps measured for a trajectory, according to the '''[UC]2 data standard'''.
