depth_csv

depth_specific.csv (e.g. WQ_5.csv)

Optional csv time-series files for recording the conditions at a given lake depth can be configured. Variables that can be configured to be output in these files are outlined below.

Depth from bottom or depth from surface

Users seeking to record the output conditions can configure the output level/layer to be either the depth below the surface or height above the bottom (default), using the csv_point_frombot flag.

Configuration

Add the follow entries to the &output block in glm3.nml. Note that, the frequency of the output to the csv file will depend upon the parameter nsave.

	 !-- Depth specific outputs
	    csv_point_nlevs = 2
	    csv_point_fname = 'WQ_' 
            csv_point_at    = 5,30    !<-- Two files will be produced for 5m and 30m heights from bottom 
	    csv_point_nvars = 7
	    csv_point_vars  = 'temp', 'salt','OXY_oxy','SIL_rsi','NIT_amm','NIT_nit','PHS_frp'			  

Column options:

CLASS	NAME	UNITS	DESCRIPTION
var	temp	C	Water temperature at specified depth/height
var	salt	ppt	Water salinity at specified depth/height
var	*AED_var1*	...	Water quality variable concentration at specified depth/height
var	*AED_var2*	...	Water quality variable concentration at specified depth/height
