I have been using SWAT+ for over a year now and have always looked a the variable "flo_out" within the file "channel_sd_day" for daily discharge, assuming units of m^3/s as printed in the file. However, recently revisiting the SWAT+ manual, I found that the manual says the units of this variable are m3. 

This might be a naive thing to ask, but the manual confused me. It might be a typo or just me comparing the wrong things. Can someone give a quick word on this, please?

Attaching a screenshot of both with this thread,

Thank you in advance!

Was pretty sure  "flo_out" within the file "channel_sd_day" is the right one to look for when comparing discharge, but even the smallest of doubts wobbles the confidence.

Just to share -- the typo is in the manual, model code has calculations for m^3/sec. 

Thanks to Abdullah for exploring the code.
