The input
directory must contain the following files (provided for the catchment case study):
Forcing time series
Purpose: The file forcefile
(called us_09066300_input.nc
in the catchment case study) contains the input data in a 2D (resp. 3D) arrays for modeling at the catchment (resp. grid) scale. The name of this file is made by appending the suffix_forcing
defined in the FILEMANAGER
(see B) to the basin ID (see E $2
).
Requirements: The dimension of the NetCDF files will determine if FUSE is run at the catchment or grid-scale. FUSE will look for the variables lat
and lon
and if they are arrays, it will run on the grid they define. This means that NetCDF input files for a single catchment must also include the variables lat
and lon
.
Format: NetCDF
Elevation bands
Purpose: The file BFILE
(called us_09066300_elev_bands.nc
in the catchment case study) describe the elevation bands required when the snow module is on. The dimensions of this file must match that of forcefile
. The name of this file is made by appending the suffix_elev_bands
defined in the FILEMANAGER
(see B) to the basin ID (see E $2
).
