Help with preparing weather data for my study area in India.

[Sowkhya Badatala]

Dear Luca Doro,

  I am using Arc APEX for simulations. I have successfully completed the steps up-to sub area analysis. I have a problem in APEX input files, where I want to upload weather data for my study area. My doubts are:

1) Are there any changes to be made in APEX database present in C folder (where I have installed the software) similar to SWAT?

2) how to prepare weather data for the study area and upload in the APEX model?

3) If possible, any videos or documentation available for the above-mentioned problem will be helpful.

Thank you

B. Sowkhya

Use the attached Excel tool to create WDLST.DAT and *.DLY files for your weather stations.

In the Excel tool, go to the WDLY.LIST tab and add your daily weather stations with unique names. Click "write" button.

Go to WDLY.DLY tab WDLST.DAT and write daily weather in *.DLY files. Write a unique file name for each weather station in cell B3.

In ArcAPEX, use Browse to designate WDLST.DAT. Make sure you have all DLY files copied to the same directory.
