JULES

Input/Output and visualisation

JULES allows for input and output in three formats:

Ascii

For simple single point runs, data can be input and output in ascii files. This is not recommended for distributed runs, however.

Binary (GRADS)

Output is available in GRADS (Grid Analysis and Display System) format, which allows for easy visualisation of results for those who have GRADS.

NetCDF

JULES v2.0 saw the introduction of NetCDF as a format for input data. As of the JULES 2.1.x family of releases, NetCDF output is also supported. This is the recommended I/O format for distributed runs.
