River parameters

Full list of river parameters, both physical and topological ones, can be output in netCDF as river network augmentation mode. Those augmented variables can be read in from augmented network netCDF and variable names need to be specified in control file

To read additional augmented network parameters, <hydGeometryOption> and <topoNetworkOption> needs to be turned on (specified as 0) in control file

Names of the river network variables (both network topology and physical parameters) can be also speficied in control file, if they are different than their default names. The format is

<varname_PARAMETER_DEFAULT_NAME> NEW_NAME !

Dimensions

Dimension	Description
seg	river reach
hru	river network catchment or hru (hydrologic response unit)
upSeg	immediate upstream reaches
upHRU	HRUs contributing to a reach
upAll	all the upstream reaches

physical parameters

Variable	Dimension	Unit	Type	Description
width	seg	-	real	channel width
man_n	seg	-	real	mannings n
hruArea	upHRU	m2	real	area of each contributing HRU
weight	upHRU	-	real	weight assigned to each HRU
basArea	seg	m2	real	total area of contributing HRUs
upsArea	seg	m2	real	area above the top of the reach. 0 if headwater
totalArea	seg	m2	real	area above the bottom of the reach (bas + ups)
timeDelayHist	uh	sec	real	time delay histogram for each reach (only UH routing)

Topology parameters

Extra or augmented river reach and hru topology are typically computed internally. It is recommended to compute instead of generating outside mizuRoute
