WXSIM Field names with their "description" as found in WXSIM data files

English: Explanation

First column contains the field name as used in the scripts
Second column contains unit type used.
Column "lastret.txt contains the field names as used by WRET => lastret.txt output, not all fields are present in your own lastret.txt.
Column "latest.csv contains the field names as contained in latest.csv, normally all fields should be present when using the professional version.
You can sort the table on column 1-4 by clicking in the heading.
- First click descending
- Second click ascending.

Nederlands: Toelichting

De eerste kolom bevat de naam zoals gebruikt in de scripts
De tweede kolom bevat de UOM, de maat eenheid
Kolom "lastret.txt bevat de veldnamen zoals gebruikt door de lastret.txt output generatie, niet alle velden zijn aanwezig in iedere lastret.txt omdat het aantal velden beperkt is.
Kolom "latest.csv calle veldnamen uit het latest.csv bestand (=backup laatste forecast), alle velden komen voor als u een professional version hebt van WXSIM.
De tabel kan gesorteerd worden op kolom 1-4 door te klikken op een kolomkop.
- Eerste klik sorteert aflopend
- Tweede klik oplopend.

Total number of known field-names (2017-07-16) = 79. Of which 8 are missing for lastret.txt and 6 for latest.csv.
Any help to rectify this is appriciated.
