Plant and Weather

Plant and weather output can be printed at basin, LSU, HRU, and HRU-lte level by entering "y" in the basin_wb, lsunit_wb, hru_wb, and hru-lte_wb lines in print.prt, respectively. Plant and weather output can be printed at daily, monthly, yearly, and average annual time steps. The names of the plant and weather output files are as follows:

  • basin_pw_day.txt

  • basin_pw_mon.txt

  • basin_pw_yr.txt

  • basin_pw_aa.txt

  • lsunit_pw_day.txt

  • lsunit_pw_mon.txt

  • lsunit_pw_yr.txt

  • lsunit_pw_aa.txt

  • hru_pw_day.txt

  • hru_pw_mon.txt

  • hru_pw_yr.txt

  • hru_pw_aa.txt

  • hru-lte_pw_day.txt

  • hru-lte_pw_mon.txt

  • hru-lte_pw_yr.txt

  • hru-lte_pw_aa.txt

We are aware that the current SWAT+ revision does no print average wind speed and relative humidity correctly. This has been fixed and the correct values will be printed by the new revision to be released in late September.
