.SH DESCRIPTION
12
Calculate the difference of two trajectory files "inpfile1" and "inpfile2" and write it to a new trajectory file "outfile". The difference is calculated of the field "field", which must be available on both input files. If the field "LATLON" is specified, the spherical distance between the two trajectories is taken. Furthermore, with "-single" the difference is written at all times, with "-max" only the time of maximum difference is written.

.SH PARAMETERS
14
.TP 15
15
.I inpfile1
16
first trajectory file 
17
.TP 15
18
.I inpfile2
19
second trajectory file 
20
.TP 15
21
.I outfile
22
output trajectory file - note that this is not a standard trajectory file which can be further processed! The position of both trajectories are listed and also the field for both trajectories and their difference. 
23
.TP 15
24
.I field
25
Name of field for which the difference should be calculated. It must be available in both trajectory files. IF "LATLON" is specified, the spherical distance between the trajectory positions is calculated.
26
.SH OPTIONAL PARAMETERS
27
.TP 15
28
.I -single 
29
the difference is written to "outfile" for all trajectory times
30
.TP 15
31
.I -max
32
the difference is written to "outfile" only for the trajectory time with maximum difference.
33
.SH EXAMPLES
34
.TP 5
35
.B [1] difference tra1 tra2 out LATLON -single
36
gives the speherical distance (LATLON) between trajectories in "tra1" and "tra2". The difference is written for all trajectory times.
37
.TP 5
38
.B [2] difference tra1 tra2 out TH -max
39
gives the difference of potential temperature (TH) between trajectory file "ra1" and "tra2" and writes the maximum difference ("-max") to the output file "out".
