Significance of the File

contains various two- or three-dimensional data-records in a standard data format (universal direct access data format)

File-Contents (in Catchwords)

The location of the data points in space is not given in this file. The precise location of each data point is obtained from the information contained in a related topography file (bathymetry and grid information). From this information the precise location (x,y,z) can be calculated. For every data-set each component is stored as a record. A data set consists of physical data from a 2D- or 3D-space or a profile which is either a synoptic data set (at all nodes of the data-space the result is valid for the same date), a synthetic data set (e.g. maximum value at ech node for a specific period of time) or a time-series data set (for each node of the data-space the respective data are stored as a time-serie)

the following quantities can be stored

scalars, vectors and/or tensors
two-dimensional or three-dimensional vectors and/or tensors
time-independent and time-dependent data elementary forms of data storage
time-series data
synoptic data
synthetic data

FORTRAN data types: INTEGER, REAL, COMPLEX und DOUBLE PRECISION
