FILE NAMES FOR SUBMITTED SIMULATIONS



RE: file names for submitted simulations

DMIP participants:

A full submission of all the simulation runs described in the DMIP Modeling  Instructions would consist of 30 files.  Each file contains a single time series for a given location.  30 example filenames for "OHD" that uniquely identify each scenario described in the DMIP Modeling Instructions are specified here.  An explanation of how the filenames are constructed follows this list. (note: we realize that some participants are modeling only some of the basins and will  not submit all 30 simulations). Please use these names when submitting your simulations.  This information will also be posted on the DMIP web page.

Thanks,

Mike

These filenames are constructed using four parts separated by a
underscores and a period.

<basin_identifier>_<run_type>_<data_type>.<organization_abbrev>

Run type is either:
unclbx -- results from uncalibrated run
calibx -- results from calibrated run
"x" is a number included to distinguish cases when the Modeling Instructions specify more than
one calibration run for a given outlet. For example, both Sections B.4 and B.5 of the Modeling
Instructions request simulations at the Savoy gage.  In the B.4 scenario (x = 4), calibrated
parameters are defined using Watts flow data and in B.5 (x = 5) calibration parameters are
defined using Tahlequah flow data.

Data type:
Initially there is only one data type: sqin (instantaneous simulated discharge)
In future comparisons, there may be other data types.
