Lake Output File¶
The lake file contains information about the lake fraction of the grid cell. Lake files are only written when LAKES is set equal to a valid lake parameter file, in the global parameter file. Lake files begin with the prefix lake_
.
Each output file contains model output from one grid cell. The files use the naming convention fluxes_xx.xx_yy.yy
, where xx.xx
is the latitude, and yy.yy
is the longitude. The number of decimal places in the output filename is determined by the GRID_DECIMAL
in the global parameter file, while the latitude and longitude values come from the soil parameter file.
