Model outputs

The following files will be created in the output directory:

• fetch3.log: Log file for the model run

• outputs from the NHL module:

  • nhl_zenith.csv: Timeseries of calculated zenith angle

  • nhl_out.nc: NHL transpiration

  • nhl_out_modelres: NHL trasnpiration interpolated to the resolution used by FETCH3

• FETCH3 outputs:

  • ds_canopy.nc: Dataset with the canopy variables:

    • S_kx: [unitless] Cavitation of stem xylem, given by eqn S.79 in Silva et al 2022

    • trans_2d: [m3H2O m-2crown_projection m-1stem s-1] Transpiration

    • H: [MPa] Water potential

    • K: [m s-1] Hydraulic conductivity

    • Capac: [Pa-1] Capacitance

  • ds_root.nc: Dataset with the root variables:

    • Kr_sink [1/sPa]: Effective root radial conductivity

    • S_kr [unitless]: Cavitation of root xylem, given by eqn S.77 in Silva et al 2022

    • S_sink [unitless]: Feddes root water uptake stress function, given by equations S.73, 74 and 75 in Silva et al 2022

    • EVsink_ts [m3H2O m-2ground m-1depth s-1]: Root water uptake

    • H: [MPa] Water potential

    • K: [m s-1] Hydraulic conductivity

    • Capac: [Pa-1] Capacitance

  • ds_soil.nc: Dataset with the soil variables:

    • THETA: [m3 m-3] Volumetric water content

    • H: [MPa] Water potential

    • K: [m s-1] Hydraulic conductivity

    • Capac: [Pa-1] Capacitance

  • sapflux.nc: Dataset with sapflux and aboveground water storage

    • sapflux: [m3 s-1] Tree-level sap flux

    • storage: [m3] Total aboveground water storage

    • delta_s: [m3] Change in aboveground water storage from the previous timestep

  • ds_all.nc: Dataset with H, Capac, and K concatenated for the entire z array

  (these variables are also written in ds_canopy, ds_root, and ds_soil, so in most cases it is easier to use those datasets instead)
