List of parameters for PALM NCL scripts

The following lists give an overview of all existing parameters to steer the PALM NCL scripts. Further descriptions can be found in the configuration file .ncl.config.default​.
Most parameters are allocated with a suitable default value in the configuration file but some need to be changed before running any script. These variables are file_1 and if available file_2, ..., up to file_6.
In case of a job chain without extended output files, the scripts will automatically read all necessary files after indicating the first and the last cyclic number (see start_f and end_f).

There are five lists CS=cross sections
PR=profiles
SP=spectra
TS=timeseries

NCL type:
D=double
F=float
I=integer
S=string

Parameter Name	NCL Type	Default Value	Explanation
end_f	I	-1	Last cyclic number of data from a job chain that shall be used for input. Setting of end_f is only useful when more than one file of a job chain exist.
end_time_step	D	-1.0d (last avail- able time step)	Last time step in hour.
file_1	S	"File in"	Path and name of the input file.
file_out	S	"~/test_**"	Path and name of the output file.
font_size	F	0.04 (CS) 0.02 (PR+SP) 0.07 (TS)	Font size of the strings in the plots in height of ​NDC coordinates.
format_out	S	"x11"	Format of the output file. Supported file formats are: x11, pdf, ps, eps, epsi ncgm or png.
no_columns	I	1	Number of plots in one row.
no_rows	I	2	Number of plots in one column.
start_f	I	-1	First cyclic number of data from a job chain that shall be used for input. Setting of start_f is only useful when more than one file of a job chain exist.
start_time_step	D	-1.0d (first avail- able time step)	First time step in hour.
var	S	"all"	Names of variables in the input file that shall be output. For output of u, v and w"pt" use var='u v w"pt"' in the prompt or var=",u,v,w"+dq+"pt"+dq in .ncl.config.
