Significance of the File

contains a profile topography, which can consists out of one or more longitudinal sections or cross sections

File-Contents (in Catchwords)

1. number of 2D-locations, grid-/systemfiles, marker codes, nodes, profiles and segments of a profile topography
2. names of 2D-locations, bathymetry files, profiles etc.
3. coordinates (x,y) of the nodes
4. depth (z) at the nodes
5. nodal points of all segments of the profiles
6. segment connexions for all segments of the profiles
7. (optional) various informations for data interpolation on points along the profiles; the type of information stored depends on the program used to generate this type of file (TICLQ2 or TR2LQ2)
8. (optional) Block GLOBAL_STATIC
   Global attributes before generating a CF-NetCDF file.
   1. NH = number of history lines.
   2. NC = number of comment lines.
   3. (optional) EPSG = EPSG code for coordinate transformation (see EPSG Geodetic Parameter Registry).
9. (optional) Block GLOBAL
   Global attributes before generating a CF-NetCDF file.
   1. INSTITUTION = institution which generates the data.
   2. REFERENCES = reference of the providing institution.
   3. CONVENTIONS = NetCDF conventions which are fulfilled by the file.
   4. TITLE = title of the file.
   5. SOURCE = source of the file.
10. (optional) blocks GLOBAL_HISTORY
    Global attributes before generating a CF-NetCDF file.
    1. HISTORY = a history line of the file.
11. (optional) blocks GLOBAL_COMMENT
    Global attributes before generating a CF-NetCDF file.
    1. COMMENT = a comment line of the file.
12. (optional) Block CODE_AND_TIME_INFO
    Attributes to the depth variable before generating a CF-NetCDF file.
    1. CODE = phydef code to explain the meaning of the depth data [17,617,1149].
    2. TIME = reference time of the depth data.
    3. BEGIN = start time of the validity period of the depth data.
    4. END = end time of the validity period of the depth data.

To add CF informations to a file of this type put the meta data in an ASCII-file with the same name and the extension '.dat'.
Example for CF info file:
$PROGHOME/examples/lib/p_grid/profil05.CF_Test.dat
