Hey all,

This question is about the action under Write Input Tables-> Weather Stations -> Weather Generator Data

I have these file downloaded from < http://globalweather.tamu.edu/ > to use as input for the weather stations.

After inserting them into solar, rainfall, temp, wind, rel. humidity I can only proceed if I select an option in the "Weather Generator Data" - Select Monthly Weather Database. I thought this was not necessary.
When looking it up I see that I could insert the monthly averages for all variables for all 42 measuring stations into WGEN_USER in the AccessDatabase.

Does anyone know if this is necessary? And if so, how could I best get this into WGEN_USER? I tried using RStudio, but my experience is so little that it is becoming very time-consuming.
I have added a few text files that are input to the Weather Generator Data as an example.
I also added the csv files that I could use to calculate the required input to the AccessDatabase WGEN_USER tab.

Hi Timo,

The WGEN information is used only in case your weather database has some missing values. It will then calculate, based on the information provided by the WGEN_USER, the required information for the missing days.
If you want to generate this data or manage the weather data inputs for the ArcSWAT interface, have a look at the Swat Weather Database tool:
http://swat.tamu.edu/media/115170/swat-weatherdatabase.7z

With that, you will be able to calculate the desired statistics.
Cheers,
Arthur
