Short Description of Functionality
The application allows the visualization and inspection of the synoptic, aggregated transport quantities,
calculated by the program NCAGGREGATE.
The data are available either for exchanges or for control volumes.
The quantities for the currently set tranport type will be shown for the selected control volume. Fractional quantities are shown class-wise. The presentation period may be restricted by the user.
The German-language website offers further information about the content of the individual charts.
Input-Files
- Aggregated Data format (cf-netcdf.nc).
Output-Files
- none.
Methodology
The volume flux in a time step can be calculated in two independent ways:
- Way 1: From the transport volume (V) the change (dV / dt) can be determined for each time step.
- Way 2: By addition:
- of the fluxes through the exchanges of the control volume (CV),
- plus intake and outtake of sources and sinks of the CV,
- plus an exchange through surface and ground of the CV.
The determined volume fluxes will usually not match exactly.
The application calculates the time series both for the absolute and the relative error.
The table shows the mean, minimum and maximum values of these two variables.
