Model Output

There are a number of different types of output that the model can produce. In short, the following possibilities are available:

DHSVM hydrologic output

  • Default output (these files are always produced)
  • Model state files
  • Network flow files
  • Travel time based hydrograph file
  • Optional output files

Sediment Module output

  • Default output (these files are always produced)
  • Network flow files
  • Optional output files

Unless you change the code, in very brief the ASCII output files will contain (Check the above link for more details about the variables):

The file is intended to screen for Mass Wasting dates to insert in the MWM configuration file
Saturation extent is the percentage of the number of pixels with a water table that is at least MTHRESH of soil depth
