Clarification on the Unit of Output Timeseries of LISFLOOD Model #167

Open Nooshdokht-Bayatafshary opened 1 month ago

Nooshdokht-Bayatafshary commented 1 month ago

Dear developers,

I am running the LISFLOOD model for my region using 6-hour meteorological inputs. As I understand it, the units for inputs such as precipitation, ET0, EW0, and ES0 are in mm/day, regardless of the timestep. However, I noticed in the manual that the units for outputs might be different (mm/timestep). I want to ensure I understand this correctly. For example, if my output timeseries (e.g., rain.tss) has a 6-hour timestep, is the unit of my output data mm/6 hours?

Thank you for your assistance.

Best regards, Nooshdokht

Dear @Nooshdokht-Bayatafshary,

your understanding of the units of input and output files is correct.

Kind regards, Stefania
