Typical run time

Describe input parameters	The input file is required for each run and provides the basic simulation parameters. It must conform to the ACADIA.inp standard format as described below Line1: should read the character string 'Comment�:' which is the label for the next line and is ignored during data input Line2: inputs a comment of maximum 72 characters about the current simulation Line3: should read 'Case name', which is the label for the next line and is ignored during data input Line4: specifes the case name (including the directory location if it is not soft-linked to the current directory). The code will append the suffixes '.nod', '.ele',and '.bat' to this string in order to know where to find the NML standard files Line5: should read 'Simulation Parameters', which is the label for the next line and is ignored during data input Line6: inputs the number of transport variables Line7: inputs the number of �uid layers Line8: inputs the degrees latitude of the center of the mesh Line9: inputs the time step in seconds Line10: inputs the starting date (day, month, year), time (in seconds after midnight). The value of time can be greater than 8.64E4 (equivalent of 1 day) as the code will automatically adjust the day and time accordingly Last Line: inputs the quitting criteria for the code as day, month, year and time in seconds after midnight. Again the value of time can be greater than 8.64E4. This allows the user to specify an overall length of the simulation instead of the exact date and time of the end of the simulation
