    33The standard output format of data in PALM is [[../netcdf|netCDF]]. PALM produces output of 3D volume data, 2D cross sections, profiles, timeseries and spectra. All these kinds of output can be plotted with the ''NCAR Command Language'' [[http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/|NCL]] which is an interpreted language designed specifically for scientific data analysis and visualization.\\\\
    44For PALM users four NCL scripts and one configuation file exist in the repository [[source:palm/trunk/SCRIPTS/NCL|trunk/SCRIPTS/NCL]] to receive a quick overview of the output data:
    5 * {{{cross_sections.ncl}}}: contour, isoline or vector plots (of a 2-dimensional vector) from 2D or 3D data; instantaneous or time-averaged xy, xz, yz or 3D data can be used
    6 * {{{profiles.ncl}}}: profile line plots from profile or 3D data
    7 * {{{spectra.ncl}}}: NCL spectra plots from spectra data
    8 * {{{timeseries.ncl}}}: line plots from timeseries data
    9 * {{{.ncl.config.default}}}: default configuration file
    10 The shell script **palmplot** is designed for running the NCL scripts interactively and can be found in [[source:palm/trunk/SCRIPTS|/trunk/SCRIPTS]]. The usage is as follows:
     5* [[source:palm/trunk/SCRIPTS/NCL/cross_sections.ncl|cross_sections.ncl]]: contour, isoline or vector plots (of a 2-dimensional vector) from 2D or 3D data; instantaneous or time-averaged xy, xz, yz or 3D data can be used
     6* [[source:palm/trunk/SCRIPTS/NCL/profiles.ncl|profiles.ncl]]: profile line plots from profile or 3D data
     7* [[source:palm/trunk/SCRIPTS/NCL/spectra.ncl|spectra.ncl]]: NCL spectra plots from spectra data
     8* [[source:palm/trunk/SCRIPTS/NCL/timeseries.ncl|timeseries.ncl]]: line plots from timeseries data
     9* [[source:palm/trunk/SCRIPTS/NCL/.ncl.config.default|.ncl.config.default]: default configuration file
     10The shell script [[source:palm/trunk/SCRIPTS/palmplot|palmplot] is designed for running the NCL scripts interactively and can be found in [[source:palm/trunk/SCRIPTS|/trunk/SCRIPTS]]. The usage is as follows:
