PollutantData

Contains the pollutant data within the model area for every simulation output. Note that the pollutant data is only written if the model area includes sources.

The pollutant data files are produced each main output interval (default: 60 min) and represent the general state and distribution of the pollutants at the given model time.

Variable list

This list represents the general variable structure. The actual sequence of the variables might differ but the same information is stored in total.
