DESCRIPTION
r.out.vic creates a set of VIC hydrological model meteorological input ascii files.
1 - Meteorological: Three time series of GIS data are needed: Precipitation (mm/d), Tmax(C) and Tmin(C).
Files are $prefix_latitude_longitude.
Format is:
"%.2f %.2f %.2f\n"
with:
double precipitation
double Tmax
double Tmin
This is an input to VIC (Variable Infiltration Capacity) in forcing/ of TEST example.
2 - Vegetation: Filling only Land cover class, with only one class, and one standard root system. Option to add monthly LAI (12 maps).
3 - Soil: Barely complete, it takes elevation data and lat/long, the rest is filled up with dummy soil data.
4 - Routing file from GRASS flow direction file: Recoding to rout input file for VIC post-processing of hydrological surface runoff flow.
