outlet_csv

outlet.csv

The optional file outlet.csv records the selected variables within the outlets / withdrawals that are configured to be taken from the lake. Variables that can be configured to be output in the outlet files are outlined below.

Single or combined outlet conditions

Users seeking to record the output water quality conditions must set csv_outlet_fname and/or csv_overflow_fname. By default one file will be created for each configured outlet/overflow appended with the name that was set.

The model can optionally combine all the output and overflowing water into a combined file, using the csv_outlet_allinone option. This may be used for looking at discharges to downstream rivers, for example.

Configuration

   !-- Combined outlet file & overflow
          csv_outlet_allinone = .false.
          csv_outlet_fname = 'outlet_'
          csv_outlet_nvars = 4
          csv_outlet_vars = 'flow',           ! <--- ADD VARIABLES TO THIS LIST TO ADD THEM TO FILE
                            'temp',
         	  	        'salt',
                            'OXY_oxy',
          csv_ovrflw_fname = "overflow"
