Scalar

Overview:

Scalars are scalar model variables used to specify model-wide numerical properties and echoed output levels. They are the equivalent of the text input SCALAR section. All of the parameters are interpreted as text and can be replace by ENVVARS.

Tables:

SCALAR

The SCALAR table comprises name-value pairs for scalars. The scalars that are allowed depend on the specific model..

Field Descriptions

NAME

Name of the parameter. This is the identifier of the parameter.

VALUE

Value assigned to the parameter. These are interpreted by the model first as text (to allow substitution using ENVVARS) and then converted to the correct data type and validated. For boolean (true/false) one letter is sufficient.

Usage Notes:

• Generally you will work with the standard parameters distributed with DSM2. You always have to provide RUN_START_DATE, RUN_END_DATE as the defaults are deliberately designed to halt the model.
