Additional output options

WaSiM provides a considerable number of different output files and options which enable the user to validate water fluxes and other model results by using zonal statistics (spatially averaged data per time step or aggregated over a period of timesteps, e.g. daily) and gridded data as well as detailed output for control plots.

Here is a list of model outputs newly generated with version WaSiM 7.x (Richards) in addition to the already eyisting ones that can be used for validation of water fluxes and reservoirs.

Water fluxes:

	Rain (liquid fraction on precipitation)
	Snow (solid fraction on precipitation)
	Snow evaporation
	Throughfall precipitation for layered vegetation
	Potential interception evaporation for layered vegetation
	Real interception evaporation for layered vegetation
	Potential transpiration for layered vegetation
	Real. transpiration for layered vegetation
	Infiltration amount into the uppermost soil layer
	Potential soil evaporation
	Real soil evaporation
	Deep (vertical) percolation to groundwater (gross groundwater recharge)
	Cappilary rise from groundwater
	Withdrawl by transpiration from each soil layer (for control plot only)
	Interflow for each soil layer (for control plot only)
	Macro pore infiltration

Storages

	Content of interception storage for layered vegetation
	Snow water equivalent (total water stored in the snow cover)
	Soil water content integrated for the entire soil profile
	Soil water changes forced by model coupling

State variables

	Groundwater table elevation (when running coupled to an external groundwater model)
	Start days of the various phenologic phases
	Temperature sums
