FLEXPART / std¶
Yaml arguments¶
The following arguments are used to configure the plugin. pyCIF will return an exception at the initialization if mandatory arguments are not specified, or if any argument does not fit accepted values or type:
Mandatory arguments¶
xmin: (mandatory)
West longitude of the domain
accepted type: float
xmax: (mandatory)
East longitude of the domain
accepted type: float
ymin: (mandatory)
South latitude of the domain
accepted type: float
ymax: (mandatory)
North latitude of the domain
accepted type: float
nlon: (mandatory)
Number of grid cells in the zonal direction
accepted type: float
nlat: (mandatory)
Number of grid cells in the meridional direction
accepted type: float
outheight_header: (mandatory)
Name of the header file in dir_heights
accepted type: str
Optional arguments¶
nested: (optional): True
Indicate whether the domain is nested or not. For non nested domains, only the ‘nest’ domain is loaded and not the ‘global’ one
accepted type: bool
xmin_glob: (optional): 0
East longitude of the global domain for the nested case
accepted type: float
ymin_glob: (optional): 0
South latitude of the global domain for the nested case
accepted type: float
nlon_glob: (optional): 0
Number of grid cells in the zonal direction for the nested case
accepted type: float
nlat_glob: (optional): 0
Number of grid cells in the meridional direction for the nested case
accepted type: float
dx_glob: (optional): 1
Zonal resolution in the nested case
accepted type: float
dy_glob: (optional): 1
Meridional resolution in the nested case
accepted type: float
pressure_unit: (optional): hPa
Unit for the pressure in the VCOORD file
accepted values:
Pa: Pascals
hPa: hectoPascals
dir_heights: (optional):
directory where the header defining the output vertical levels of FLEXPART is stored
accepted type: str
ignore_heights: (optional): False
Ignore the outheight_header and simply generate height at ground level
accepted type: str
