Table 5.15: prism_set_points arguments

With prism_set_points the model developer describes the geographical localization of the variables on the grid. Variables can represent means, extrema or other properties of the variables within the grid cell volume. Different sets of points can be defined for the same grid (staggered grids); each set will have a different point_id. A full 3D description has to be provided; for example, a set of points discretising a 2D surface must be given a vertical position. The profile of point_xxx_array is described in table 5.16.

Table 5.16: Dimensions of point_xxx_array for the various grid_type; i, j, k, npt_hor are the extent of the respective numerical dimensions (see table 5.8).

Units for point_1st_array, point_2nd_array and point_3rd_array must be respectively the same than the ones for corner_1st_array, corner_2nd_array and corner_3rd_array (see section 5.3.2).

Non-geographical grids. For non-geographical grids (`gridless' grids), prism_set_points_gridless should be called instead of prism_set_points (see 5.3.7).
