Output files

Up to three files are created by S3COM:

  • S3COM_[_prefix_]rad.nc for radiation outputs
  • S3COM_[_prefix_]atm.nc for atmospheric outputs (optional)
  • S3COM_[_prefix_]ret.nc for retrieval outputs (optional)

The prefix can optionally be added from the namelist file. Default is empty.
