  - to initiate turbulence, a synthetic turbulence generator is applied at all lateral boundaries, which imposes turbulent fluctuations onto the COSMO-derived boundary values of the three velocity components, while the strength of fluctuations depend on the actual atmospheric conditions
 * The vertical grid stretching mechanism has been extended to allow more than one stretched region. In addition, stretching from coarse to fine as well as from fine to coarse is possible now. For more information see parameter [../../../app/inipar/#dz dz] or have a look into file {{{init_grid.f90}}}. 
+* INIFOR now computes geostrophic wind profiles from COSMO input data and supports PALM's new grid stretching mechanism.
 * The model now comprises a biometeorology module that can be used to determine the thermal indices Perceived Temperature (PT), Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) and Physiologically Equivalent Temperature (PET). The indices are calculated as soon as the namelist {{{biometeorology_parameters}}} exists and can be disabled by setting e.g. {{{biom_pt = .F.}}}.
 * New feature human exposure model has been added, that calculates the vitamin D3-weighted UV exposure of a human. It is modularized in the new file {{{uv_exposure_model_mod.f90}}} and can be steered using the new namelist {{{biometeorology_parameters}}}.
