File-Contents (in Catchwords)

steering data

• Block Program_Parameters: general input data
  1. Max_Read_Storage: maximum number of data locations which are analysed within one analysis cycle.
  2. Min_Water_Depth: minimum water depth up to which analyses are carried through.
• Block Data_Analysis_Period: period of data analysis
  1. Start_Time: start time of data analysis period.
  2. End_Time: end time of data analysis period.
• Block Input_Files: CF NetCDF file with input data
  1. Data_File: name and type (NETCDF) of the input data file (filetype cf-netcdf.nc).
• Block Location: reference locations (one block per location)
  1. Name: name of reference location.
  2. Type: type of reference location:
     • 0 = reference location tide (must be specified exactely once);
     • 1 = reference location phase (must be specified exactely once);
     • 2 = auxiliary location (can be specified several times).
  3. X: x-coordinate of location(specify either X and Y or LON and LAT).
  4. Y: y-coordinate of location (specify either X and Y or LON und LAT).
  5. LON: longitude of location (specify either X and Y or LON and LAT).
  6. LAT: latitude of location (specify either X and Y or LON and LAT).
  7. Z: z-coordinate of location (positive downwards).
  8. Rank: rank of location(not for reference location phase).
  9. Previous_Rank: refers to the rank of the previous location (not for reference location tide and reference location phase).
• Block Input_Variables: names(s) for variables to be analysed
  1. Name: name of variable to be analysed (must be a valid CF NetCDF variable name from the input data file).
• Block Data_Analysis: type of analysis and CF NetCDF file for result data
  1. Type: type of analysis:
     • TDKW = Tidal Characteristic Numbers of Water Level.
  2. Result_File: name and type (NETCDF) of the result file (filetype cf-netcdf.nc).
