 == Usage of PALM NCL scripts ==
 The 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.\\\\
+For PALM users four NCL scripts and one configuation file exist in the repository [[http://palm.muk.uni-hannover.de/browser/palm/trunk/SCRIPTS/NCL|/trunk/SCRIPTS/NCL]] to receive a quick overview of the output data: 
+* {{{cross_sections.ncl}}}: produces 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
+* {{{profiles.ncl}}}: produces profile line plots from profile or 3D data
+* {{{spectra.ncl}}}: produces NCL spectra plots from spectra data
