(required)

Pathname of template swan input file to use to create swan input file. This should be either an absolute path or a path relative to the workDir specified in the netcdf run file.

(required)

Pathname of swan input file to create. This should be either an absolute path or a path relative to the workDir specified in the netcdf run file.

Convert wind (with u, v component) in regular grid from NetCDF to SWAN ascii format. The path to the wind NetCDF file should be specified in the value section. The conversion is done without with grid rotation, thus the orientation of the grid in ascii is identical to that in NetCDF. In SWAN .swn file, one should specify how this wind grid should be read by adjusting 'idla' (e.g. idla=3, read the grid starting from the low-left corner). 'windy.ser' is required in SWAN .swn file. Standard names should be given to the wind parameter in NetCDF file: eastward_wind (wind_u), northward_wind (wind_v); Conversion examples are attached. windy.ser; windyfield_18071203.wnd; SWAN_wind.nc; template.swn

Convert waterlevel in curvelinear grid from NetCDF to SWAN ascii format (NOHEAD version). The path to the waterlevel NetCDF file should be specified in the value section. The conversion is done with without grid rotation, taking the low-left corner to the top-left. In thus in SWAN .swn file, one should specify how this water level grid should be read by adjusting with 'idla' = 1(i.e.g. idla=3, read the grid starting from the lowtop-left corner). SWAN_overall_wlev.dep; SWAN_overall_wlev.nc, from left to right).

Convert currents (with u. v component) in curvelinear grid from NetCDF to SWAN ascii format (NOHEAD version). The ascii file is organised by timestamp (i.e. 1st timestep u, v; 2nd timestep u, v, etc). The path to the currents NetCDF file should be specified in the value section. The conversion is done with without grid rotation, taking the low-left corner to the top-left. In thus in SWAN .swn file, one should specify how this currents grid should be read by adjusting with 'idla' =1 (i.e.g. idla=3, read the grid starting from the lowtop-left corner). SWAN_overall_cur.dep; SWAN_overall_cur.nc, from left to right).

Convert wave boundaries (scalar timeseries, e.g. WaveWatch III) from NetCDF to SWAN ascii format (.bnd file). The path to the boundary NetCDF file should be specified in the value section. Three copies of the .bnd file will be created for each time series in the NetCDF file, due to the input boundary requirement of SWAN.

(optional)

Adapter can only import data on WGS84 coordinates. Pathname of netcdf file with input spectra data that should be converted from Cartesian to WGS84. This should be either an absolute path or a path relative to the workDir specified in the netcdf run file.

(optional)

Pathname of a netcdf file that contains a parameter with times to use for the $STATIONARY_TIMES$ tag. This should be either an absolute path or a path relative to the workDir specified in the netcdf run file. This property must be present if the $STATIONARY_TIMES$ tag is used in the template swan input file.

(optional)

Variable name of a parameter in stationary_times_file with data, e.g. wind_speed. The times that correspond to the data for this parameter are used for the $STATIONARY_TIMES$ tag. This property must be present if the $STATIONARY_TIMES$ tag is used in the template swan input file.

(optional)

Deprecated, do not use. Format of the input state file (hotfile). Can be e.g. "NETCDF" (NetCDF format), "FREE" (Ascii format) or "UNFORMATTED" (binary format). If not specified, then NETCDF is used by default.
