The following table lists all project file cards pertaining to rainfall input. Either, but not both, PRECIP_UNIF or PRECIP_FILE must be included in each GSSHA project file.
| Card | Argument | Units | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
PRECIP_UNIF |
none | Specifies spatially and temporally uniform rainfall. Also requires: RAIN_INTENSITY, RAIN_DURATION, START_DATE, START TIME. Mutually exclusive with PRECIP_FILE. | |
RAIN_INTENSITY ##.## |
real | mm/hr | Intensity of spatially- and temporally-uniform rainfall. Required only for PRECIP_UNIF. |
RAIN_DURATION ## |
integer | minutes | Duration of spatially- and temporally-uniform rainfall. Required only for PRECIP_UNIF. |
START_DATE [yr mo day] |
integers | year month day |
Year, month, and day of the beginning of a simulation. Required only for PRECIP_UNIF. See section on rainfall input for format description. This card can also be used with long term simulations to start the simulation at a point other than the beginning of the hmet time series. See long term simulation information. |
START_TIME [hr min] |
integers | hr minute |
Hour and minute of the beginning of a simulation. Required only for PRECIP_UNIF. See section on rainfall input for format description. This card can also be used with long term simulations to start the simulation at a point other than the beginning of the hmet time series. See long term simulation information. |
PRECIP_FILE "filename.gag" |
file name | Input ASCII file containing spatially and temporally varied rainfall rates (mm hr-1). See the manual section titled Precipitation Input for a description of the file format. Mutally exclusive with PRECIP_UNIF. | |
RAIN_INV_DISTANCE |
none | Inverse distance squared rainfall interpolation. REQUIRED for PRECIP_FILE. Mutually exclusive with RAIN_THIESSEN. | |
RAIN_THIESSEN |
none | Thiessen polygon (nearest neighbor) rainfall interpolation. Recommended particularly when rainfall rates are derived from radar estimates. REQUIRED for PRECIP_FILE. Mutually exclusive with RAIN_INV_DISTANCE. |
