Hi all,

If you want to get soil moisture data as an output, at the end of CWATM simulation:

- Before running the model: put "OUT_TSS_MonthAvg = sum_w1, sum_w2, sum_w3" at the end of the settings file.
- Results: after your simulation, you obtain three netcdf files in the 'output' directory containing a map for each month of simulation.

CWATM is composed of three soils layers w1, w2 and w3. Water content are in meters. In sum_w1, "sum" refers to the sum weighted by each landcovertype.

These variables are defined in "landcoverType.py" and "soil.py". Also, a list of all variables can be found in "metaNetcdf.xml". Soon, this list will be followed by a variables description and where to find these variables in the code.

Best

Guten Tag,

Using MAP will output a map, while TSS will output time series for designated points. 

For example,
OUT_MAP_MonthAvg = sum_w1, sum_w2, sum_w3

totalSto is another possible output totalling the soil moisture of all soil layers, as well as intercept storage, snow cover, and flooded rice paddy water. 
For example,
OUT_MAP_Daily = totalSto

Yes! thanks Mikhail for notifying this error.
