Atmospheric Receptor File: Data

This section describes the different data field found in the Atmospheric Receptor Files. Both receptor files, Snapshot and Time Series File, hold the same data fields (see Introduction).

Data contained in the Atmospheric 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 Model Height of Data
u m/s Wind Speed u-component
v m/s Wind Speed v-component
w m/s Wind Speed w-component
wSpeed m/s Total Wind Speed
wDir ° Wind Direction, 0=North, Rotation corrected
