Rainfall data
The file containing the rainfall data is in ASCII-format and can have any name. The rainfall file should have the following structure (the second column is for explanation only and should beignored in the real file).
| RUU CSF TIMESERIE INTENSITY NORMAL 1 | Fixed text, 1 indicates the number of raingauges |
| station_1 | name of gauge 1, if more gauges are present then put each name on a seperate line. |
| empty line, required! | |
| 0.000 00.00 | |
| 20.00 60.00 | indicate 60 mm/hours rainfall intensity from minute 0 to 20 |
| 250.0 00.00 |
If two or more raingauges are used, e.g. 3, the file should have the following structure:
RUU CSF TIMESERIE INTENSITY NORMAL 3
station_1
station_2
station_3
955.00 0.00 00.00 0.00
960.00 2.53 20.00 0.50
960.30 2.51 10.00 0.50
960.90 2.49 05.63 0.50
961.97 2.44 10.00 0.50
965.87 2.27 60.00 6.66
1300.00 0.00 00.00 0.00
The first column is: time (in minutes). The second column is the rainfall intensity (in mm/h) of raingauge number 1, the third column is the intensity of raingauge number 2 etc.
So, from time 955 to 960 (minutes), the rainfall intensity at raingauge 1 is 2.53 mm/h. From time 965.87 to time 1300 there is no rainfall.
Important:
The last time entered should be large enough to allow all runoff to reach the catchment outlet. This time should be equal to or larger than the time at which the simulation is stopped, specified in the interface.
