hmd.cli and hmd data files

These files contain all information needed by the model about observed relative humidity data.

The relative humidity data files contain the observed relative humidity input data. They are named by the user and must have the file ending *.hmd. There must be one file per station used in the simulation. As in all SWAT+ input files, the first line in the relative humidity data files is reserved for user comments. The second line contains the column headers for the third line, which lists basic information about the station.

Field	Description	Type	Unit
nbyr	Length of the relative humidity time series	integer	years
tstep	Time step of the relative humidity data	integer	n/a
lat	Latitude of the relative humidity station	real	Decimal Degrees
lon	Longitude of the relative humidity station	real	Decimal Degrees
elev	Elevation of the relative humidity station	real	m

Starting in the fourth line, the year, Julian day, and the relative humidity are listed. There are no headers for these columns.

Field	Description	Type	Unit
year	Year of the observation	integer	n/a
jday	Julian day of the observation	integer	n/a
hmd	Observed relative humidity	real	fraction

A negative 99.0 (-99.0) should be inserted for missing data. This value tells SWAT+ to generate a relative humidity value for that day.

The hmd.cli file lists the names of the relative humidity data files used in the simulation. The first line is reserved for user comments. The second line is reserved for the column header "filename". The user can list as many relative humidity data file names as needed for the simulation. Only one file name should be listed per line. All file names listed in weather-sta.cli must be listed here. For every file name listed in hmd.cli, a file with that name must be provided by the user that contains the relative humidity data measured at the station.
