5.4 Free-use fields

FullPOS provides the environment to post-process your personal fields once you have created them in the software. This may be done with a minimum of modifications in the software. The environment should be documented through the following namelists variables :

   

CNPFSU

:

Definition

: Generic for surface physical free-use fields.

Scope

: array of 16 characters ; maximum size : 15 items.

Default value

: Refer to appendix A.1.2.

Namelist location

: NAMAFN

   

NBFSU

:

Definition

: Number of bits for packing surface physical free-use fields.

Scope

: Integer array ; maximum size : 15 items.

Default value

: Refer to appendix A.1.2.

Namelist location

: NAMAFN

   

TFP_FUA%CLNAME

TFP_FSU%LLGP

:

Definition

Dynamic fields should then be computed in the subroutines POS (for interpolations on pressure levels, isentropic levels or PV levels) or ENDPOS (for interpolations on height or eta levels).
You can possibly control the result of the horizontal interpolations in the subroutine FPCORDYN.
          The fields will be treated as fitable non-derivatives : in other words they will be concerned by the keys LFITP, LFITV, LFITT, LFITSand LFIT2D.
