- Required: In addition to the air parcel time, Met.3D requires the two attributes
trajectory_starttime
andforecast_inittime
for thetime
variable that define the time at which the trajectory was started, as well as the forecast initialisation/base time of the forecast data on which the trajectory was computed. - Required: The vertices/particle positions of the trajectories need to specified in the variables
lon, lat,
andpressure
. - Optional: Additional variables traced along the trajectories (e.g.,
temperature
in the example above) need to be identifyable by the attributeauxiliary_data = "yes"
.- You can put an arbitrary number of auxiliary trace variables into your file.
- Optional: The
start_lon
,start_lat
andstart_isobaric
variables are optional and define the grid from which the trajectory bundle was started (used for WCB detection). - Optional: Similarly, the
time_interval
anddelta_pressure_per_time_interval
variables are optional and define pre-computed values for WCB detection. Contact us if you’re interested.
