Climate and Land Use Series#

This time series is a temporal merger or Climate Series and Land Use Series for a given Land Use scenario. It relates all time steps for a given climate series to a land use map and related parameters at a given Land Use scenario.

Warning

The Climate Series and Land Use Series must have an overlap in the time line. Otherwise this file is empty.

Important

This can be a heavy file. When generated, this time series downscale climate variables to the simulation time step defined in Parameters Info.

Digital Elevation Model#

Digital elevation model (DEM) raster file. It is a raster file representing terrain height above sea level, in meters. While not mandatory, it is a valuable input for generating many derivative files such as slope, aspect, and flow accumulation. Users often preprocess DEMs to fill depressions and interpolate missing values, ensuring a hydrologically consistent surface for further analysis.

Distance To Outlet#

A raster map encoding distance to basin outlet. It is a raster file computed by the model that records the flow path length from each pixel to the catchment outlet, using LDD information for routing. It is an important variable for hydrograph generation, as it accounts for travel time differences across the basin.

Height Above Nearest Drainage#

A raster file derived from combining the DEM with a drainage network, representing the elevation difference between each pixel and its nearest stream. Values are given in meters and depend strongly on the definition of the drainage network, which can significantly influence model results. HAND can be obtained from external sources or derived directly from a DEM using geoprocessing techniques.

Streamflow Series#

A time series table located within each basin folder, containing observed streamflow values for that catchment. While optional for running the model, this file is required for calibration, validation, and performance assessment.

Warning

Values for streamflow must be given as specific discharge in millimeters per time step, requiring users to convert volumetric discharge data using the catchment area at the gauge station.

Simulation Series#

A time series table generated as output for each model run. It consolidates all simulated variables, including streamflow (observed and simulated), climate forcing data, and internal model states such as flows and storage variables. This file provides a complete record of model behavior over the simulation period and is essential for result analysis and calibration.

File Sample

Slope#

A raster file representing the inclination of the terrain in degrees. It can be derived from the digital elevation model and is used to assess processes such as runoff and erosion. Users may provide it directly or compute it using standard geoprocessing techniques.

Soils Map#

A raster file containing pixel IDs that represent soil classes. Each class is linked to an attribute table that stores parameters such as soil properties and model weights. This is a qualitative raster and is essential for encoding the land-phase hydrological characteristics used in the model.

Warning

All classes encoded in the map must be listed in Soils Attributes.

Topographic Saturation Index#

A normalized, unitless index map ranging from 0 to 1, representing the likelihood of saturation by combining HAND and TWI with weighted contributions. This file captures both catchment level effects and micro terrain influences, making it an important input for models simulating soil moisture and saturation dynamics.

Topographic Wetness Index#

A unitless index map derived from a DEM that estimates the tendency of terrain to accumulate water, assuming shallow soils and a near-surface water table. It is widely used to describe terrain-driven hydrological processes, with higher values indicating wetter conditions. Users may compute it themselves or provide it as an optional file.

Upslope Area#

A raster file that records the exact contributing area draining into each pixel, from a single pixel up to the full catchment extent. Computing upslope area typically requires DEM preprocessing such as depression filling. This is an optional file but can improve model performance when supplied.
