All model "data" output is written in RPN standard files.

There are different types of data the model can output:

...

And then you should also have this file:
     maingemdm_Linux_x86-64.Abs 
or
     maingemdm
which is a copy of the executable.

2-D and 3-D output - "normal" output used for evaluation/analysis

There are four types of output files:

Dynamic fields: pressure, temperature, humidity, winds, geopotential

Physic fields: all other fields

The model does all its calculations on model levels. But there is the option of outputting 3-D atmospheric fields also on pressure levels. These are the fields in the 'dp' resp. 'pp' files. All other fields/levels are in the 'dm' resp. 'pm' files.

Samples (direct model output)

All fields as requested in 'outcfg.out' are written into the four types of output files for the requested frequencies..

Inside the 'Samples' directory is one directory per month, starting with the name of the experiment and ending with a year and month: ${exp}_YYYYMM

There is also a directory ending on *_step0. This directory contains files that only contain data for timestep 0, the initial conditions. All accumulators for timestep 0 are zero, which is why this timestep is kept aside.

Inside these directories you find files with the following names:

File name explanation

All file names under Samples are build the following way:

    ${type}${start_date}_${output_date}

Where:

• type is one of the above 4 letter codes, indicating the type of data inside the file.
• start_date is the start date of the simulation in 'YYYYMMDDhh'.
• output_dateis the date of the model output in the following format:
  Filenames ending on:

Diagnostics

If 'CLIMAT_diagnos=1' in 'configexp.cfg' the Diagnostics model output will get further processed.
The diagnostics contain:

• monthly means (*_moyenne) and variances (*_variance) calculated for all model output fields
• 2-D time series (*_ts) for selected fields (if requested and available)

Inside the 'Diagnostics' directory is one directory per month, starting with the name of the experiment and ending with a year and month: ${exp}_YYYYMM

Inside these directories you find files with the following names:

    ${type}${exp}_YYYYMM_[moyenne/variance/ts]

Where:

• type is one of the above 4 letter codes, indicating the type of data inside the file.
• exp is the name of the experiment
  
• YYYYMM is the current year and month
• [moyenne/variance/ts] one of the three:
  

Fixed fields

Fixed fields can generally be found under the 'Samples' directory inside the directory ending on '*_step0'.
ME will be in the dm-file, all other fixed fields are usually in the pm-file.
