msk_x

Weighting factor control relative importance of inflow rate and outflow rate in determining storage on reach

The weighting factor is a function of the wedge storage. This parameter is only important if channel routing is simulated using the Muskingum routing method.

For reservoir-type storage, there is no wedge and msk_x should be 0.0. For a full-wedge, msk_x should be 0.5. For rivers, msk_x will fall between 0.0 and 0.3 with a mean value near 0.2.
