CRHM Borland

Ayers .

This module is defined in ClassAyers . It handles only unfrozen soil infiltration.

Observations

  • none

Variables

  • infil (mm/int) - depth of infiltration in time step, Dt – expressed as an average depth of water on an HRU.
  • cuminfil (mm) - cumulative infiltration - expressed as an average depth of water on an HRU.
  • runoff (mm/int) - amount of daily runoff – expressed as an equivalent depth (m3/m2).
  • cumrunoff (mm) - cummulative runoff.
  • meltrunoff (mm/int) - amount of interval melt runoff. .
  • cummeltrunoff (mm) - cumulative interval melt runoff.
  • snowinfil (mm/int) - amount of interval infiltration – expressed as an equivalent depth (m3/m2).
  • cumsnowinfil (mm) - cumulative interval infiltration
  • melt(mm/int) - interval melt equal to snowmeltD/Freq.
  •  

Parameters

  • basin_area (km^2) - area of watershed.
  • hru_area(km^2) - area of HRUs.
  • texture () -  1 through 4 for texture:- 1 - coarse/medium over coarse, 2 - medium over medium, 3 - medium/fine over fine, 4 - soil over shallow bedrock..
  • groundcover () - 1 through 6 for groundcover: 1 - bare soil, 2 - row crop, 3 - poor pasture, 4 - small grains, 5 - good pasture, 6 - forested..

 

Variable Inputs

  • net_rain (mm/int) (*) - amount of rain received by the ground surface in time step, Dt. Variable available from module intcp, etc..
  • snowmeltD (mm/d) (*)
