General description of the file outcdf.out
_____________________________________________________________________________
Example outcfg.out
grid=1,model;
levels=1,eta,-1;
levels=3,pres,[1000.,850.];
steps=1,hour,0.;
steps=2,step,<0.,6.,1.>;
sortie ([ME,PN,P0,PT] ,grid, 1, levels, 1, steps, 2)
sortie_p([MF,MY,MG,ALVIS,DLAT,DLON,WFLUX] ,grid, 1, levels, 1, steps, 1)
_____________________________________________________________________________
Output GRID definitions
examples:
grid=4,model;
grid=2,core;
grid=1,reduc,4,10,4,10,2
grid=3,reduc,4,10,4,10
grid=5,reduc,"NEW",2,11,2,15
grid=7,core,"CO";
general syntax
grid=gridid,[model/core/reduc],["etik"],[gridx0,gridx1,gridy0,gridy1];
gridid - number to identify gridset to relate to sortie statement
model - total grid of the model,in LAM, this includes pilot area
core - only the uniform part of the grid, in LAM, excludes pilot are
reduc - reduced grid from the model defined as follows
gridx0 - starting I value along X
gridx1 - ending I value along X
gridy0 - starting J value along X
gridy1 - ending J value along X
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Limit the number of definitions for "grid" to improve the efficiency
in the output routines. The maximum number of definitions is 4.
_____________________________________________________________________________ Output LEVEL definitions
examples:
levels=1,eta,-1;
levels=2,eta,0;
levels=6,eta,<1,12,2>;
levels=5,pres,[1000.,850.,700.,500.];
general syntax
levels=levelid , pres/eta,{list}
levelid - number to identify levelset to relate to sortie statement
eta - model levels (eta)
- the integer corresponds to the "nth" defined model level thus
make sure that the largest digit <= # of elements defined in hyb
pres- pressure levels
'-1' with "eta" levels will give all model levels.
'0' with "eta" levels will give the ground "G_nk" level
[a,b,c] means level a,b and c are requested
<a,b,c> means levels a to b, every c are requested
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Limit the number of definitions for "level" to improve the efficiency
the output routines. The maximum number of definitions is 32.
The maximum number of levels defined in each "level" command is 201
VERY IMPORTANT NOTE:
No physics variable output on PRESSURE levels
Output FREQUENCY definitions
examples:
steps=1,step,-1;
steps=2,hour,0.,3.,6.,12.,24.,48.;
steps=3,hour,<0.,48.,3.>;
steps=4,init,hour,<0.,6.,1.>;
steps=5,hour,<0.,24.,3.>,<24.,48.,6.>;
steps=6,step,<0,5,1>,[6,12,18];
general syntax
steps=stepid, [init],step/hour,{list};
stepid - number to identify stepset to relate to sortie statement
'init' - means this command only applies to output during the
initialization period
'hour' - output in hours
'step' - output in timesteps in the model
'-1' with "step" will give every timestep of the model
[a,b,c] means a,b and c are requested
<a,b,c> means a to b, incrementing every c are requested
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Limit the number of definitions for "steps" to improve the efficiency
the output routines. The maximum number of definitions is 32.
The maximum number of step/hour defined in each "steps" command is 50000
