Rank One Array Specification

A rank one array constitutes a dataset with a single value per time. Time must be specified in units and the scalar quantity must be in the units of the outer keyword. If TIME_UNITS and/or DATA_UNITS are not specified, SI is assumed.

Optional Cards

Optional cards must be placed at top of array.

CYCLIC

Cycles a transient data set back to initial value when maximum data set time is exceeded, repeatedly cycling through the data.

DATA_UNITS <string>

Units for the data values listed in the array.

INTERPOLATION <string>

Interpolation scheme used to calculate transient update, where the options for <string> include: [LINEAR, STEP (default)].

TIME_UNITS <string>

Units for the times listed in the array.

Examples

! Rank 1 Dataset: turns on a 1 cm/yr flux over the second year of a three year simulation.
TIME_UNITS yr
DATA_UNITS cm/yr
! <time> <value>
