HYPE variables

Variable IDs given in the table below are used in info.txt files to specify variables which are written in any of the possible output files, e.g.:

!! basinfile output of measured and simulated discharge
basinoutput variable rout cout

They appear accordingly in output file headers.

The variable IDs are also used in HYPE's observation data files, Xobs.txt. For a complete list of input files, see here. Input data from the files Pobs.txt, Tobs.txt and Qobs.txt has also variable IDs to be used in output and performance criteria determination.

As a general rule, observation variable IDs begin with an 'r' for recorded, and corresponding simulated variables with a 'c' for computed, Cf. rout and cout, the IDs for measured and simulated discharge. There are exceptions to the rule, though.

All variables in the table relates to a subbasin, either to the local subbasin or a part of it, or to the upstream area (e.g. outflow of a subbasin, cout). Additional output variables can be created for output regions or upstream areas by extending the name of the variable with 'rg' in the beginning (e.g. rgsnow) for regional values or with 'up' for upstream average value (e.g. upsnow). This method does not work on all variables, partly because the result would be nonsense (e.g. upcout or rgwcom) and partly because they are not yet defined for that area (i.e. variables refering to the area of soil layer 2 or 3 or water surface areas are not handled).

Column Agg. indicates the type of aggregation of the variables over time. The type determines how the variable is treated when asked for as an output variable or in a criterion calculation. The meanperiod of the output/criterion determines the period over which the variables values will be aggregated. They will be averaged, weight-averaged or summed according to the type of aggregation, or the value at the end of the period will be used. Similarly single time step values represent either averages, weighted averages, or sums over the timestep.

Column Component links result variables to model components in HYPE model description.

The general unit (U) is used in tables of parameters and input data where the unit is not defined.

Upstream variables

Upstream variables are given as the average over the upstream area. For variables which represent another area than the subbasin, eg. the land area, this means that they are rescaled to the subbasin area before the average of upstream area is calculated.
