Significance of the File

Contains various input steering data for the postprocessor DATACONVERT

File-Contents (in Catchwords)

Contains various input steering data, which are required during

  • mode 1 , conversion of computational results for the integrated modelling system Delft3D. Original data are stored in NetCDF data files and are going to be converted and written to BAW-specific BDF data files, or,
  • mode 2 , conversion of (DWD) NetCDF files to BAW-specific BDF data files, or,
  • mode 3 , merge of several (DWD) NetCDF files to a single NetCDF data file (times for input data must be identical in all input files), or
  • neu: mode 6: conversion of meteorological data in BDF-Format into Delft3D format METEO_DLFT

informations related to output files (block Output_Information)

  • mode 1
    • file to store converted depth averaged (2D-) computational results (filetype dirz.bin.r, dirz.bin.i and dirz.bin).
      Notice: data for multiple computational domains are going to be gathered and stored in this file.
    • file to store the converted computational grid (filetype untrim_grid.dat).
      Notice: computational grid data for multiple computational domains are going to be gathered and stored in this grid file.
    • (optional) file to store converted depth dependent (3D-) computational results (filetype dirz.bin.r, dirz.bin.i and dirz.bin).
      Notice: data for multiple computational domains are going to be gathered and stored in this file.
    • (optional) file with description of the vertical layer structure (z-layers), to be used for the converted computational results (filetype vertical.dat).
      Notice: this file must be always specified in situations when three-dimensional data are going to be generated by conversion.
    • (optional) threshold depth for drying and wetting.
      Notice: the value prescribed shall be not smaller than the one used during the Delft3D simulation.
    • (optional) start time for data conversion.
      Notice: if not specified the first date contained in the input data will be used.
    • (optional) end time for data conversion.
      Notice: if not specified the last date contained in the input data will be used.
    • (optional) time step for data conversion.
      Notice: if not specified all dates contained in the input data will be converted.
    • (optional) maximum increase of depth during a morphodynamic simulation. Depth at all grid points is increased by this amount to cover depth variation due to morphodynamics within a z-layered (vertical) grid. Exception: depths at (protected) structures will not be altered.
      Notice: if this parameter is not prescribed all depth values will remain unchanged.
    • (optional) steering parameter for the method chosen to compute initial depth values at grid points. Depths can be computed from values prescribed in grid files or in computational result files.
      Notice: if this parameter is not prescribed, depth values are derived from grid data only.
    • (optional) steering parameter for type of method used to compute depth values for new edges inserted during the grid refinement process. Method can be either MEAN, MAX or MIN.
      Notice: if this parameter is missing, method MEAN will be used.
    • (optional) steering parameter for rounding of time and date information (digits for nanoseconds). The number of digits for nanoseconds (0 - 9) has to be prescribed. In case 0 (zero) is prescribed, no digits for nanoseconds are taken into account and all internal time and date items are rounded to seconds.
      Notice: if this parameter is not specified, no time and date item will be subject to rounding (full accuracy).
  • mode 2
    • file to store converted data (filetype dirz.bin.r, dirz.bin.i and dirz.bin).
      Notice: file is not generated, only the filetype is used.
    • file to store the converted computational grid (filetype gitter05.dat or gitter05.bin).
      Notice: file is not generated, only filetype is used.
    • (optional) start time for data conversion.
      Notice: if not specified the first date contained in the input data will be used.
    • (optional) end time for data conversion.
      Notice: if not specified the last date contained in the input data will be used.
    • (optional) time step for data conversion.
      Notice: if not specified all dates contained in the input data will be converted.
    • (optional) steering parameter for rounding of time and date information (digits for nanoseconds). The number of digits for nanoseconds (0 - 9) has to be prescribed. In case 0 (zero) is prescribed, no digits for nanoseconds are taken into account and all internal time and date items are rounded to seconds.
      Notice: if this parameter is not specified, no time and date item will be subject to rounding (full accuracy).
    • EPSG code for coordinates of resulting grid file (see EPSG Geodetic Parameter Registry).
  • mode 3
    • file to store merged data (filetype netcdf.cdf).
    • (optional) start time for data conversion.
      Notice: if not specified the first date contained in the input data will be used.
    • (optional) end time for data conversion.
      Notice: if not specified the last date contained in the input data will be used.
    • (optional) time step for data conversion.
      Notice: if not specified all dates contained in the input data will be converted.
    • (optional) steering parameter for rounding of time and date information (digits for nanoseconds). The number of digits for nanoseconds (0 - 9) has to be prescribed. In case 0 (zero) is prescribed, no digits for nanoseconds are taken into account and all internal time and date items are rounded to seconds.
      Notice: if this parameter is not specified, no time and date item will be subject to rounding (full accuracy).
  • mode 6
    • file to store converted data (filetype METEO_DLFT)
    • (optional) start time for data conversion.
      Notice: if not specified the first date contained in the input data will be used.
    • (optional) end time for data conversion.
      Notice: if not specified the last date contained in the input data will be used.
    • (optional) time step for data conversion.
      Notice: if not specified all dates contained in the input data will be converted.
    • (optional) EPSG code for coordinates of resulting grid file (see EPSG Geodetic Parameter Registry).
      Notice: There will be be no mapping, but the code will be written as a comment into the METEO_DELFT file.
    • (optional) No_Data_Value for invalid data.
    • (optional) Timezone for the time string of the output file (Default: UTC)

informations related to input files (block Input_Files) - block can be specified several times

  • mode 1
    • name of NetCDF-file which contains the computational results from Delft3D going to be converted (filetype netcdf.cdf);
      Notice: has to be specified only once per computational domain), plus (optional) code numbers for the converted physical quantities (Notice: in case code numbers are not specified, all quantities which are feasible for conversion are going to be converted automatically).
    • name of file which contains the computational grid going to be converted (filetype delft3d.grd).
    • Additionally the following files of type delft3d.dep and delft3d.enc must be present in the working directory.
    • Optionally files of type delft3d.dry, delft3d.thd, delft3d.lwl, delft3d.ext as well as delft3d.bnd may be present in the working directory.
      Remark 1: Only one file with extension grd per computational domain can be specified. The other (related) files are only allowed to differ with respect to their extension.
      Remark 2: For each computational domain the converted computational grid as well as the converted computational results are stored in files of type untrim_grid.dat, dirz.bin.r, dirz.bin.i and dirz.bin.
  • mode 2
  • mode 3
    • file name with type netcdf.cdf, contents will be merged into the output file.
  • mode 6

dictionary-file hyd_untrim_dico.dat, normally present in directory $PROGHOME/dic/, will be automatically read by the application program in addition to the user-specified input file.
