+=== Job preparation ===
+RRTMG requires various vertical profile data that must be provided in the INPUT directory of the job and labeled with underscore _rsw and _rlw, respectively. The required data format is NetCDF. Standard profiles are shipped with the RRTMG library and are located under [source:palm/trunk/LIB/rrtmg/data trunk/LIB/rrtmg/data]. Additionally, the user can overwrite the standard trace gas profiles by adding a third NetCDF file labelled as _rsnd that must follow the same data structure as the standard files. The INPUT directory should then contain at least the following files:
+{{{
+jobname_p3d
+jobname_rlw (e.g. a copy of rrtmg_lw.nc)
+jobname_rsw (e.g. a copy of rrtmg_sw.nc)
+}}}
+and optionally
+{{{
+jobname_rsnd (trace gas sounding data provided by the user)
+}}}
