1 File format

   !   one input var desc per line
   !   empty lines and lines starting with # are ignored
   !   a line is multiple key=var separated with ;
   !   spaces are ignored
   !   case is ignored
   !   recognized keys
   !   * in     : variable name as found in file (mandatory)
   !   * in2    : variable name as found in file, second component of vector fields
   !   * search : list of files to search var in, comma separated (mandatory)
   !              accepted values: GEOP, CLIM, ANAL, INREP
   !              var are search in until found in files starting from 1st one
   !   * freq   : reading frequency (defaut=0)

   !              TYPE: STEP,MONTH,HOUR,MINUTE (optional, default=STEP)
   !              first:    start reading from "first", TYPE units (mandatory)
   !              interval: read every interval (optional, default=0, inital)
   !              last :    read up to "last", TYPE units (optional, default=-1 infinite)
   !   * interp : spatial horiz. interp. technique (defaut=cubic)
   !              accepted values: nearest, linear, cubic
   !   * vinterp: spatial vertical interp. technique (defaut=none)
   !              accepted values: none, linear, cubic
   !   * timeint: temporal interp. technique (defaut=none)
   !              accepted values: nearest, linear, step, any, none
   !   * levels : list of levels (defaul=0)
   !              accepted format: FIRST_LEVEL, LAST_LEVEL
   !              LAST_LEVEL is optional
   !              accepted values: 0 (surface), 1 (arbitrary level 1), 1-26 (arbitrary level 1 to 26), -1 (caller provided list of levels)

3 Code which read the physics_input_table

After the model environment is established with the following:

. s.ssmuse.dot GEM/4.5.0

one can look at the subroutine reading the physics_input_table in the following file: $modelutils/src/utils/incfg.cdk90
