Variable General Info
List of monthly weather stations ?Comment:A list of monthly weather stations, ordered by weather station number which can be used in creating runs. This file also gives the latitude, longitude, state and location of the weather station. Monthly weather statistics of a single weather station are maintained in filename.wp1. The files must be listed in WPM1MO.DAT (or user chosen name). The model references the WPM1MO.DAT file to determine which weather station (*.wp1) will be used for monthly weather. When NGN in the APEXCONT.DAT file is equal to 0 or -1, this indicates that monthly weather is to be used to generate all weather variables. Monthly weather is also used to generate weather when no daily weather data is available. If a monthly weather station is not indicated in the APEXRUN.DAT file, then the program references XCT and YCT in the subarea file to determine the latitude and longitude of the subarea centroid which it then uses to find a weather station in the WPM1MO.DAT file with the closest latitude and longitude. If XCT and YCT are not identified in the SUBAREA file, the program then references YLAT and XLOG in the SITE file to determine the latitude and longitude of the watershed which it then uses to find a weather station in the WPM1MO.DAT file with the closest latitude and longitude. |
