Namelist file

Fortran namelist to control aspects of the AOSPRE simulation. Organized in sections &options, &scanning, and &config_output, each representing a Fortran namelist record.

&options

seed

integer array

  • integer seeds to initialize the Fortran random number generator. The number of integers needed to initialize the random number generator is compiler-dependent.
  • optional, defaults to system-dependent random initialization.
seed = 198276, 98120419, 166, -16189763, 66389692, 1470800236

wrf_glob_pattern

string

  • pattern to find model output files, according to conventional POSIX globbing (wildcard) rules.
 wrf_glob_pattern   = "/data/wrf/supercell/100m/wrfout_d01_????-??-??_??:??:??"

output_filename_format_string

string

  • Fortran format string to build output file names.
output_filename_format_string = '("supercell_",A,"_",A,".nc")'

leg_initial_time

integer

  • time (seconds past model initialization time) to start the flight.
 leg_initial_time = 4500

leg_time_seconds

integer

  • duration (in seconds) of the flight.
 leg_time_seconds = 300

flight_waypoints_x

float array

  • x-coordinates (model grid units) of the waypoints of the flight.
flight_waypoints_x    =    150.5,  350.0,  350.0,

flight_waypoints_y

float array

  • y-coordinates (model grid units) of the waypoints of the flight.
flight_waypoints_y    =    150.75,  150.25,  350.0,

flight_waypoints_vert

float array

  • vertical coordinates (in units of the flight_level_coordinate) of the waypoints of the flight.
 flight_waypoints_vert =  1500.0,  1500.0,  1500.0,

flight_level_coordinate

single character

  • Vertical coordinate used for flight waypoints. Valid values are
        - 'Z' (height in meters)
        - 'P' (Pressure in hPa).
flight_level_coordinate   = "Z"

air_speed

float

  • constant air speed (m/s) for the flight.
 air_speed = 120.0

herky_jerky

logical

  • explain this.
 herky_jerky = .FALSE.

&scanning

crsim_config

string

  • file name for CR-SIM configuration
crsim_config = "CONFIG"

scanning_table

string

  • file name for the table that defines the scanning strategy
scanning_table = "Scanning_Table_LHS"

pulse_repetition_frequency

integer

  • describe this
pulse_repetition_frequency = 2000

pulses_per_pulse_set

integer

  • describe this
pulses_per_pulse_set = 2

revisits_per_acquisition_time

integer

  • describe this
revisits_per_acquisition_time = 7

beams_per_acquisition_time

integer

  • describe this
beams_per_acquisition_time     = 3

seconds_for_scan_cycle

float

  • describe this
 ! seconds_for_scan_cycle         = 2.0

meters_between_gates

float

  • describe this
 meters_between_gates           = 150.

meters_to_center_of_first_gate

float

  • describe this
 meters_to_center_of_first_gate = 150.

max_range_in_meters

float

  • describe this
 max_range_in_meters            = 75000.

fold_limit_lower

float

  • describe this
  • optional (is this used anymore or can we always determine the limits from the pulse configuration?)
fold_limit_lower = -16.905

fold_limit_upper

float

  • describe this
  • optional (is this used anymore or can we always determine the limits from the pulse configuration?)
fold_limit_upper =  16.905
