Surface/Flux Receptor File: Data
This section describes the different data field found in the surface/flux receptor files. Only time series files will be produced for the surface data (see Receptor Files).
Data contained in the surface receptor files:
NR | FIELD | UNIT | MEANING |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Date | - | Date of the Model Time (String) |
2 | Time | - | Model Time of Clock at Output (String) |
3 | modTime | min | Model Time in min since Start |
4 | z | m | Always zero, for compatibility with the other Receptor Files |
5 | T0 | K | Surface Temperature |
6 | dT0/dt | K/h | Change in Surface Temperature (see Remark 1) |
7 | q0 | g/kg | Surface Humidity |
8 | uv1 | m/s | Horizontal Wind Speed above Surface |
9 | w1 | m/s | Vertical Component Wind Speed above Surface (positive: upward) |
9 | T1 | K | Air Temperature of Grid Point above the Surface |
10 | H | W/m² | Sensible Heat Flux |
11 | LE | W/m² | Latent Heat Flux |
12 | G | W/m² | Soil Heat Flux, positive: directed into the soil |
13 | Km | m²/s | Mass Exchange Coefficient at Surface |
14 | Kh | m²/s | Turbulent Exchange Coefficient for Heat at Surface |
15 | Qkw.Dir | W/m² | Max Direct Shortwave Radiation (see Remark 2) |
16 | Qkw.Dif | W/m² | Max Diffuse Shortwave Radiation |
17 | Qlw.Budg | W/m² | Longwave Radiation Budget of Surface |
18 | Qlw.Surf | W/m² | Longwave Emission of Surface |
19 | Qlw.Sky | W/m² | Absorbed Longwave Radiation from the Sky (see Remark 3) |
20 | Qlw.Leafs | W/m² | Absorbed Longwave Radiation from Vegetation (see Remark 3) |
21 | Qlw.Envir | W/m² | Absorbed Longwave Radiation from Environment (Buildings)(see Remark 3) |
