00README for ATReC profiles July 08, 2005 =*-=*-=*-=*-=*-=*-=*- [A] =*-=*-=*-=*-=*-=*-=*- ATReC cube profiles in this directory (dump from MM5 netCDF files) are in IEEE floating point with little-endian byte ordering. (8km spatial resolution) Each cube contains 64x64 (row by column) records. NL = 101 ! (number of layer) LENG = 3*NL + 9 ! (record length) CONTENT DESCRIPTION UNIT do L = 1, nl prof(L) = tair(L) Air Temperature K prof(L+ nl)= h2o(L) Water vapor layer amount g/Kg prpf(L+2*nl)= ozo(L) Ozone layer amount ppm enddo prof(3*nl+1) = lwp Liquid water path g/m^2 prof(3*nl+2) = iwp Ice water path g/m^2 prof(3*nl+3) = tsurf Surface skin temperature K prof(38nl+4) = ter Terrain height m prof(3*nl+5) = lat Latitude Degree prof(3*nl+6) = lon Longitude Degree prof(3*nl+7) = ltop Cloud top w/ respect to liquid hPa prof(3*nl+8) = itop Cloud top w/ respect to ice hPa prof(3*nl+9) = psurf Surface pressure hPa =*-=*-=*-=*-=*-=*-=*- [B] =*-=*-=*-=*-=*-=*-=*- Cloud information are stored in *_CotPc.bin binary files.
