Property:Describe output parameters model
From CSDMS
This is a property of type Text.
P
The PBS wraps ILAMB, which produces tabular and graphical statistics from a benchmark analysis. These outputs can be viewed in ILAMB, or downloaded to a user's local machine as a tarball. +
W
The WBMplus model can output any variables used for the water balance and transport calculations. WBMsed unique output are: sediment-flux, over-bank water discharge, and all the BQART parameters. +
S
The code outputs the following text files:
“topoout.txt” – elevation for each grid point at the end of the simulation
“depth.txt” – flow depth at each grid point at the end of the simulation
“uh.txt” – value of conserved variable UH at each grid point
“vh.txt” – value of conserved variable VH at each grid point
“ch.txt” – value of conserved variable CH at each grid point
“m.txt” – mass of sediment in the deposited layer at each grid point
“c.txt” – sediment concentration at each grid point
“vel.txt” – flow velocity at each grid point
“stage.txt” – time series data (time (s), flow depth, flow velocity, and sediment concentration) at the outlet pixel
“maxvel.txt” – maximum flow velocity recorded at each grid point throughout the simulation
“maxdepth.txt” -- maximum flow depth recorded at each grid point throughout the simulation
“saveflow.txt” – time series data (flow depth, flow velocity, sediment concentration) at user specified grid points
“topomovie.txt” – elevation data at different times throughout the simulation (specified in the code by “printinterval”)
“depthmovie.txt” – flow depth at different times throughout the simulation
“velocitymovie.txt” – flow velocity at different times throughout the simulation
“cmovie.txt” – sediment concentration at different times throughout the simulation
“Mmovie.txt” – mass of sediment in the deposited layer at different times throughout the simulation +
C
The component provides monthly temperature data in degrees Celcius. Within the CSDMS framework, the component generates an NetCDF file of a stacked grid of monthly temperatures over the specified region. +
D
The computed outflow from any flow plane, pipe, or channel segment for each storm period may be written to the output file or to the WDM file. A summary of the measured and simulated rainfall, runoff, and peak flows is written to the output file. A flat file containing the storm rainfall, measured flow (if available), and simulated flow at user selected sites can be generated. A flat file for each storm containing the total rainfall, the measured peak flow (if available), and the simulated peak flow for user-selected sites can be generated. +
C
The data component provides monthly temperature as a NetCDF file for the region of Alaska +
W
The following output files are available to the user, depending on their run configuration:
1. Land surface model output
2. Land surface diagnostic output
3. Streamflow output at all channel reaches/cells
4. Streamflow output at forecast points or gage reaches/cells
5. Streamflow on the 2D high resolution routing grid (gridded channel routing only)
6. Terrain routing variables on the 2D high resolution routing grid
7. Lake output variables
8. Ground water output variables
9. A text file of streamflow output at either forecast points or gage locations
For a detailed table of each variable
contained within each output file, see the WRF-Hydro Output Variable Matrix V5 located on our website

1
The model can be customized to produce many different kinds of output but, typically, the output consists of (i) h, a final hillslope profile; (ii) h_diffs, a vector which summarizes how the profile changed over the duration of the simulation; and (iii) a vector expressing the fluxes of particles through a site along the hillslope.
However, the same code can be used to produce a video of the hillslope evolution, a vector containing the absolute difference between the hillslope profile and a reference profile, and many other observables of interest. +
W
The model can output any variables used for the water balance and transport calculations. The most frequently requested ones are: potential and actual evapotranspiration, soil moisture, groundwater storage, river discharge, irrigational water uptake. +
P
The model generates several georeferenced tiff files upon completion. These geotiff files can be viewed using any GIS software. Each file is a 2D map of a modeled flow property such as thickness, velocity etc. Additionally, multiband geotiff files containing similar 2D maps at multiple user-defined time intervals during the simulation.
Depth – Map of the final 2D flow thickness (in meters).
Depthbin – Binary map where cells with thickness > user-defined threshold thickness have a value of 1 and the rest of the cells have a value of 0.
MaxDepth – Map of the maximum flow depth obtained at each cell during the entire simulation (in meters).
MaxVelocity – Map of the maximum velocity obtained at each cell during the entire simulation (in m/s).
MomentumX – Map of final 2D flow momentum along the X direction (in sq. m/s).
MomentumY – Map of final 2D flow momentum along the Y direction (in sq. m/s).
Velocity – Map of the final 2D flow velocity (in m/s).
VelocityX – Map of the final 2D flow velocity along the X direction (in m/s).
VelocityY – Map of the final 2D flow velocity along the Y direction (in m/s).
The multiband (movie) files output by the model are DepthMovie, MomentumXMovie, MomentumYMovie, VelocityMovie, VelocityXMovie, VelocityYMovie. +
S
The new coastline at the end of the simulation is plotted. Results are not currently saved to files. +
R
G
The output are elevation values that represent the gully channel profile. +
L
The output can ultimately be used to plot and view the particles and compare the
outcomes of different model runs. There are two types of comma-delimited output files: para
and endfile. The para files are created periodically at set intervals throughout the running of the
program and contain the particle locations at the current time. The endfile file is created only at
the end of the program and contains information regarding each particles’ start location, end
location, and ending status. +
H
The output data is both plain text data files and .flt raster files containing the spatial location of the computed results. +
C
The output of the model consists of snapshots of the coastline during its evolution. The model can be configured to write the resulting coastline at any point during the simulation. The output format of the coastline file is a custom binary formatted-file (the same format as the initial model input). Also, for convenience using with other software tools such as MATLAB, an ASCII-based file of the coastline shape can be written too. The model can also directly generate JPEG-formatted pictures of the coastline shape at any time during the simulation. +
The outputs are
i) For chi_m_over_n_analysis.exe, a *.movern file that contains information about the goodness of fit of channel profiles to a series of linear segments as a function of the m/n ratio: this file is used to determine the best fit m/n ratio of a channel network.
ii) For chi_get_profiles.exe, a series of *.tree files which contain information about the best fit channel segments in chi-elevation space. This data can be used to infer erosion rates, tectonics, or variations in erodibility. +
H
The outputs of HydroCNHS are stored in a data collector object, an attribute of HydroCNHS (e.g., model.dc). The main output is the daily streamflow at routing outlets. However, this data collector object will also contain other user-specified agent outputs as long as users use this data collector object in their ABM modules. +
W
The program outputs a text file that provides information on the current minimum and maximum water table elevation, the changes in surface water and groundwater within the past iteration, and the number of iterations passed. The main output is a geoTiff file that supplies the depth to/elevation of the water table. Negative values indicate a water table below the surface, while positive values indicate a water table above the surface (i.e. a lake). +
