 The temporal interval of the output times of profiles is assigned via the parameter [#dt_dopr dt_dopr].\\\\
 Profiles can also be temporally averaged (see [#averaging_interval_pr averaging_interval_pr]).\\\\
-The following list shows the values which can be assigned to '''data_output_pr'''. The profile data is either defined on u-v-levels (variables marked in [[span(red,style=color: red)]]) or on w-levels ([[span(green,style=color: green)]]). According to this, the z-coordinates of the individual profiles vary. Beyond that, with a Prandtl layer switched on ([[../inipar#prandtl_layer|prandtl_layer]]) the lowest output level is z = zu(1) instead of z = zw(0) for profiles w"u", w"v", wu and wv. Turbulence quantities such as w*u* or u*2 are calculated from turbulent fluctuations that are defined as deviations from the instantaneous horizontal average.\\\\
