Input Data

This page is under development.

Please see the example notebooks scripts (see Examples) for the daily time series file format (and the metadata file format for a spatial model).

Abbreviated variable names used for key column headers and associated units in the time series files are:

  • Precipitation (mm/day): prcp

  • Daily minimum temperature (°C): temp_min

  • Daily maximum temperature (°C): temp_max

  • Daily average temperature (°C): temp_avg

  • Vapour pressure (kPa): vap_press

  • Sunshine duration (hours): sun_dur

  • Wind speed (m/s): wind_speed

In the pre-processed UK Input Data, a couple of additional columns are present but not used currently:

  • Relative humidity (%): rel_hum

  • Daily mean temperature (°C): temp_mean

Note

Daily mean temperature (temp_mean) is the mean of an hourly temperature series if available. Daily average temperature (temp_avg) is the mean of the daily minimum and maximum temperatures. The latter (temp_avg) is currently used in the model.

Further details will be added.
