Lake Output File¶
The lake file contains information about the lake fraction of the grid cell. Lake files are only written when LAKES is set equal to a valid lake parameter file, in the global parameter file. Lake file name is lake.**.nc
, where **
is determined by AGGFREQ variable specified in the global parameter file.
The default flux output file is in netCDF format, with the same data structure described in the image driver output format. the list of default flux variables are:
Variable Name | Units | Description |
---|---|---|
OUT_LAKE_ICE_TEMP | C | Temperature of lake ice |
OUT_LAKE_ICE_HEIGHT | cm | Thickness of lake ice |
OUT_LAKE_ICE_FRACT | fraction | Fractional coverage of lake ice |
OUT_LAKE_DEPTH | m | Lake depth (distance between surface and deepest point) |
OUT_LAKE_SURF_AREA | m2 | Lake surface area |
OUT_LAKE_VOLUME | m3 | Lake volume |
OUT_LAKE_SURF_TEMP | C | Lake surface temperature |
OUT_EVAP_LAKE | mm | Net evaporation from lake surface |
