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:
| FIELD | UNIT | MEANING |
|---|---|---|
| Date | - | Date of the Model Time (String) |
| Time | - | Model Time of Clock at Output (String) |
| modTime | min | Model Time in min since Start |
| z | m | Always zero, for compatibility with the other Receptor Files |
| T0 | K | Surface Temperature |
| dT0/dt | K/h | Change in Surface Temperature (see Remark 1) |
| q0 | g/kg | Surface Humidity |
| uv1 | m/s | Horizontal Wind Speed above Surface |
| w1 | m/s | Vertical Component Wind Speed above Surface (positive: upward) |
| T1 | K | Air Temperature of Grid Point above the Surface |
| H | W/m² | Sensible Heat Flux |
| LE | W/m² | Latent Heat Flux |
| G | W/m² | Soil Heat Flux, positive: directed into the soil |
| Km | m²/s | Mass Exchange Coefficient at Surface |
| Kh | m²/s | Turbulent Exchange Coefficient for Heat at Surface |
| Qkw.Dir | W/m² | Max Direct Shortwave Radiation (see Remark 2) |
| Qkw.Dif | W/m² | Max Diffuse Shortwave Radiation |
| Qlw.Budg | W/m² | Longwave Radiation Budget of Surface |
