Ht_obs (11/23/06)

CRHM Borland

Ht_obs.

This module is defined in ClassHtobs. It reads a series of vegetation height observations into the parameter Ht.  Parameters are normally constant during a model run.  This module makes the parameter Ht follow the current value of the height in the observation file.

Observations

  • Ht_obs (m) - average vegetation height over the time interval.  Optional, when not available the parameter value Ht retains its initial.

Variables

  • Ht_var (m) - Observation values as a variable for monitoring.

Parameters

  • Ht (m) - has initial default value.  The initial value is used if no observations are available or until the first available observation is read.

Variable Inputs

  • none.

Notes.

    The variable Ht_var is provided for debugging.  Since parameters cannot be displayed by CRHM (assumed to be constant),  Ht may be monitored by displaying the variable Ht_var.
