Scenario Configuration File

Model configure file is Microsoft Windows INI file used to specify scenario settings.

model

Same settings as the one in model configuration file.

• model_folder - The folder where the model files will be created.

scenario

The basic settings for scenario.

• name - The name of the scenario. A sub-folder will be created with this name in the model folder and all the model files will be in that folder.
• model_type - The model type, cell or subarea.
• interval - The time interval, daily or hourly
• start_date - The start date of simulation in yyyy-mm-dd format. The start date of the hydroclimate database will be used if it’s empty.
• end_date - The end date of simulation in yyyy-mm-dd format. The end date of the hydroclimate database will be used if it’s empty.

climate_station

The climate stations used for the simulation. The required format is ids separated by comma. The ids must match the one in ID column in STATIONS table of hydroclimate database.

Tip

If all hydroclimate stations will be used, leave all the items empty. This is the recommended approach.

• P - The stations ids for precipitation.
• T - The stations ids for temperature.
• RM - The stations ids for relative humidity.
• SR - The stations ids for solar radiation.
• WS - The stations ids for wind speed.
• WD - The stations ids for wind direction. This may be merged with wind speed later.

climate_interpolation

The method used to generate the weight file.

• method - The method for interpolation. Available methods include: average_uniform, grid_interpolation, inverse_distance, linear_triangle and thiessen_polygon.
