4 Output files

4.1 Output file names

Format of output file names:

[Project Name].[Identifier].[Format]

-The [Project Name] is user defined name of the project, so every input and output files must start with the [Project Name]. -The [Format] is one of csv or dat. csv is spreadsheet format and dat is bindary format.

The [Identifier] is a combination of variables features, that in format of: [Model Unit][Variable Type][Variable Name]. [Model Unit] is one of three options of ele (elemtns), riv (river) or lak (lake). Variable type includes y, v and q that are state variable (in \(L\)), specific flux (in \(L^3/L^2/T\)) and flux (in \(L^3/T\)) respectively.

The list of output files is in following table.

4.2 Data format in ASCII (.csv) file

N - Number of column of output data, excluding the time column. m - Number of time-step. StartTime - String of date/time (YYYYMMDD or YYYYMMDD.hhmmss)

N StartTime
\(T_1\) \(v_{1 \cdot 1}\) \(v_{1 \cdot 2}\) … \(v_{1 \cdot N}\)
\(T_2\) \(v_{2 \cdot 1}\) \(v_{2 \cdot 2}\) … \(v_{2 \cdot N}\)
\(T_3\) \(v_{3 \cdot 1}\) \(v_{3 \cdot 2}\) … \(v_{3 \cdot N}\)
… … … … …
\(T_{m}\) \(v_{m \cdot 1}\) \(v_{m \cdot 2}\) … \(v_{m \cdot N}\)

4.3 Data format in binary (.dat) file

The value saved in binary file are identical from ASCII format, but different data structure.
