Windfield - xyz format

Header information

Only one header line is given with the number of nodes in the x, y and z direction.

Grid information

After the header information, follows the grid information, presented in x,y,z format. The order is longitude (UTM),latitude (UTM), surface height (m), model layer height a.g.(m), u (m/s), v (m/s), w (m/s), pressure (Pa), temperature (K). The coordinates needs to be given in UTM. The height of the surface and the height of the model layers above ground needs to be specified in m and the three components of the wind speed in m/s. The pressure has to be specified in Pascal and the temperature in Kelvin. Different from the dws file where the potential temperature is given the normal temperature is given in the xyz format.

The data has to be stored in the following order: The data needs to be written from the lower left corner of the domain to the upper right corner for each layer beginning with the first layer near the surface. The first level needs to be the values at ground level.

The file has to have the name mesofield{x}.dws. x Stands for the number of a special case. The number can be between 1 and 999.
