Meanings

input file

File that contains the rotated coordinates of the domain to which the ICON results in the post processing script of SPICE will be remapped

nbound

If only nbound is given as argument: Number of grid points by which the domain given by the input file is extended. This is to keep the rotated domain out of the boundary zone of the regional ICON.

If nbound, nudging_zone_width, Rn and Bk are given: Number of extra safety grid points

Default:

...

0

nudge_zone_width

The number you are going to use in the namelist interpol_nml settings of your ICON simulations

Rn and Bk

The n and k values for your chosen ICON grid

Remark

If all parameters are given the

...

number of grid points for the boundaries are

...

calculated as

nboundaries = nbound +  nudge_zone_width + grf_bdywidth_c

where grf_bdywidth_c=4 as described in the ICON Tutorial.

The Rn and Bn are used in case the grid width of the rotated grid is smaller than the ICON grid. In this case the number of boundaries are extended to make sure that the boundary width is not too small.

This is a very rudimentary pre-compiler version like the one for e.g. FORTRAN programs. It can only handle the

...

three commands:
#ifdef name
#else name#endif name

If you are interested in a more sophisticated bash pre-processor please check the one on bashpp GitHub. 

Nesting #ifdef are allowed.
