Output File Specification and Snow Energy Balance
Posted: Mon Jan 31, 2022 10:02 pm
I am trying to look at snowmelt in different forest types over time using POTMELT_UBCWM method. I can examine the POTENTIAL_MELT variable for each HRU to evaluate differences across forest types but I would also like to see what components of the energy balance are contribution to melt (e.g. S, Ln, Qc, Qa and Qr). I don't see these anywhere in the output. Is it possible to configure the model to output these variables?
On page 139 of the manual it says that ":WriteEnergyStorage" can be specified and this will create a WatershedEnergyStorage.csv file. However, when I add this command to my RVI file, the WatershedEnergyStorage.csv is not generated. I do not get an error that the command is not recognized.
Also, maybe I am missing something but on page 16 of the manual it says you can use " :ExhaustiveMassBalance" command. Raven does not recognize this but does recognize ":WriteExhaustiveMB" specified on page 140 so there may be a typo in the documentation.
Thanks,
Andy
