NAME

basin_parms_dpm.f

MODULE PROCESS (TYPE)

Establish the basin parameters.

DEFINITION

Establish the basin parameters for the model and write input parameters to a file.  The parameters are based on the data-input subroutine of Bauer and Vaccaro (1987).

KEYWORDS

CREATION DATE 

July, 2004

PARAMETERS DECLARED

hru_elev

Mean elevation for each HRU, in feet.

hru_area

HRU area, in square miles.

hru_slope

HRU slope as vertical feet/horizontal feet, in decimal percent * 100 (0-90).

hru_aspect

HRU aspect in degrees from north: 0-360, in degrees.

hru_ylat

HRU Y-location of centroid, latitude or state plane, in feet.

hru_xlong

HRU X-location of centroid, longitude or state plane, in feet.

hru_soil

HRU soil type, no units.

cov_type

HRU cover type: land use type, from 1-31, no units.

hru_appld

Application rate of irrigation water for HRU, in inches.

hru_irr_methd

Irrigation method for HRU: 0=above canopy, 1=all other

hru_mon_ppt

Mean monthly precipitation for each HRU, in inches.

VARIABLES DECLARED

wght

HRU area as fraction of total area, as a fraction.

EXTERNAL VARIABLES USED

none

DESCRIPTION

The module declares and initializes the parameters for the basin. The parameters are then written to a file.  The basin area, a calculated parameter, is computed as the sum of the areas of the HRUs.  The variable wght is then calculated as

wght(i) = hru_area(i) / basin_area,

where

nhru is the number of HRUs,

i is the index for the HRU, with i from 1 to nhru,

wght is the HRU area as fraction of total area,

hru_area is the area of a HRU, and

basin_area is the total area of the basin.
