atmo.cli

This file contains observed atmospheric deposition data.

SWAT+ is able to read in monthly, yearly, and average annual atmospheric deposition values. Reading in daily values is currently not an option in SWAT+.

The atmo.cli file is formatted differently than most other SWAT+ input files and its structure varies slightly depending on the time step of the data. As in all SWAT+ input files, the first line is reserved for user comments. The second line contains the column headers for the third line, which lists basic information about the atmospheric deposition stations.

Field	Description	Type
num_sta	Number of stations included in the file	integer
timestep	Time step of the atmospheric deposition data	integer
mo_init	First month data is available for (0 for yearly and average annual data)	integer
yr_init	First year data is available for (0 for average annual data)	integer
num_aa	Number of months or years data is available for	integer

Below, there will be 5 lines for each station included in the atmospheric deposition file. In the first of these, the name of the station will be specified. The name of the station is a primary key referenced by atmo_dep in weather-sta.cli. It is followed by 4 lines of data:

1. Wet deposition of ammonia nitrogen

2. Wet deposition of nitrate nitrogen

3. Dry deposition of ammonia nitrogen

4. Dry deposition of nitrate nitrogen

The number of values listed in the data lines depends on the number of months or years data is available for. If average annual data is used, only one value will be listed.
