NAM_PROFILERn

This namelist is used to configure virtual vertical profilers by using the following described parameters or a .csv file. Calculations are done for all the nested models for which the namelist is provided and recorded in the corresponding diachronic files.

TRUE

  • NNUMB_PROF : number of profilers. Limited to 100 if not using a .csv file.

  • XSTEP_PROF : time (in seconds) between two sampling written in the diachronic file

  • XX_PROF : X-position (in meters) of the profiler in the cartesian coordinates (with LCARTESIAN=T only)

  • XY_PROF : Y-position (in meters) of the profiler in the cartesian coordinates (with LCARTESIAN=T only)

  • XLAT_PROF : latitude (in degrees) of the profiler (with LCARTESIAN=F only)

  • XLON_PROF : longitude (in degrees) of the profiler (with LCARTESIAN=F only)

  • XZ_PROF : height above the model orography (in meters) of the profiler

  • CNAME_PROF : name of the profiler

  • CFILE_PROF : name of the .csv file containing the definition of the profilers (see below). If CFILE_PROF=’NO_INPUT_CSV’, the .csv file is not read.

  • LDIAG_SURFRAD : if True, the surface and radiation variables are written. You must also set N2M=2 in NAM_DIAG_SURFn for a correct saving of SURFEX variables.

Note

If a .csv file is provided, coordinates given in the namelist will be ignored. The .csv file should follow the format example hereafter:

Name, X[m]/Lat[deg], Y[m]/Lon[deg], Z[m]
prof1, 50.0,  50.0, 10.0
prof2, 50.0,   1.0, 11.25
prof3, 350.0, 50.0, 10.0

The values of X,Y or Lat/Lon are read depending on LCARTESIAN.
