			This page contains information on the NetCDF file format used for gridded rainfall. This file is created if a TUFLOW rainfall Control File (.trfcf) has the NC output type "<tt>RF Grid Format == NC</tt>". This file can also be directly input to TUFLOW with the .tcf command "<tt>Read Grid RF == <file.nc></tt>" in the.tcf.

			This file must contain a regularly spaced grid of rainfall depth. The following variables are required:<
			* x - contains the x coordinates of the grid.
			* y - contains the y coordinates of the grid.
			* time - contains the times for the rainfall outputs. This time should be in hours and have the 0 time as the TUFLOW simulation.
			* rainfall_depth - this variable has the dimension x, y and time. This contains the time-varying data.<br>

			The total_rainfall_depth is output by TUFLOW to allow for checking of the dataset. This variable is not used by TUFLOW.
