Scripts for processing of WRF-CHEM files to PALM dynamic driver.
Version: v.1.0
The scripts are based on the wrf-CAMx interface:

The scripts are based on the (wrf-CAMx interface)[https://palm.muk.uni-hannover.de/trac/wiki/doc/app/iofiles/wrf_interface]
Usage: palm_dynamic -c <config_name> [-w]
The optional parameter -w allows to skip horizontal and vertical

"wrf_hybrid_levs = True/False".
CONFIGURATION
# CONFIGURATION
Description of the particular configuration options are (defaults are in parenthesis):
# 1. Domain and case related config
domain name of the simulation case ("")
resolution name of the particular domain resolution scenario ("")
scenario name of the individual scenario in the case ("")
nested_domain False indicates parent and True nested domain. (False)
dynamic_driver_file file name of output dynamic driver ("").
grid_from_static True - the grid parameters are imported from the static
driver, False - they are prescribed in the config (True)
static_driver_file file name of the static driver in case of grid_from_static ("").
proj_palm reference coordinate system of PALM simulation ("EPSG:32633")
proj_wgs84 reference coordinate system of lon-lat projection ("EPSG:4326")
dz height of the PALM vertical grid layer (0.0). The default
value dz = 0.0 means dz is assigned from dx.
nz number of vertical layers of PALM domain (200)
dz_stretch_level height in meters from which stretching of vertical levels
starts in PALM (5000.0)
dz_stretch_factor coefficient of the stretching of the vertical layers in PALM (1.0)
dz_max max height of the stretched vertical layers (100.0)
origin_time origin time of the PALM simulation in the format
YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss (""). The default value "" means that
the value is read from the global attribute of the static driver.
simulation_hours extent of the simulation in hours

# Major Changes from wrf + CAMx scripts made to wrf_chem_for_palm
-Proj future warning resolved
-Chemical species are read from wrf-chem files and interpolated at the same time as the
dynamic variables
-Interpolated files are saved to a different directory than the wrf-chem data files
-A variety of chemical species can be inlcuded.
-Aerosols can be included and are weighted based on specified aerosol size bins
-Base state temperature corrected to 290. for WRFChem
-Changes to palm_dynamic_output were made to include the various aerosol and chemical
species
