NAM_STATIONn

This namelist is used to configure a virtual observed point at a station 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.

NAM_STATIONn content

Fortran name	Fortran type	Default value
NNUMB_STAT	INTEGER	0
XSTEP_STAT	REAL	60.0
XX_STAT	REAL(:)	NNUMB_STAT * XUNDEF
XY_STAT	REAL(:)	NNUMB_STAT * XUNDEF
XLAT_STAT	REAL(:)	NNUMB_STAT * XUNDEF
XLON_STAT	REAL(:)	NNUMB_STAT * XUNDEF
XZ_STAT	REAL(:)	NNUMB_STAT * XUNDEF
CNAME_STAT	ARRAY(CHARACTER(LEN=10))	NNUMB_STAT * ‘ ‘
CFILE_STAT	CHARACTER(LEN=128)	‘NO_INPUT_CSV’
LDIAG_SURFRAD	LOGICAL	.TRUE.

• NNUMB_STAT : number of stations. Limited to 100 if not using a .csv file.

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

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

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

• XLAT_STAT : latitude (in degrees) of the station (with LCARTESIAN=F only)

• XLON_STAT : longitude (in degrees) of the station (with LCARTESIAN=F only)

• XZ_STAT : height above the model orography (in meters) of the station

• CNAME_STAT : name of the station

• CFILE_STAT : name of the .csv file containing the definition of the stations (see below). If CFILE_STAT=’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]
probe1, 50.0,  50.0, 10.0
probe2, 50.0,   1.0, 11.25
probe3, 350.0, 50.0, 10.0

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