Can the model 1) output width? 2) turn off air-water exchange?

Mon, 09/28/2015 - 5:24pm — Wenwei
Hi everyone, I have two questions here: 1) Can the model output width of each segment? I did not seem to see width in Snapshot files. 2) I want to turn off air-water heat exchange to test the heating effect of solar radiation alone on water. It appears to me that there is not a coefficient that controls air-water heat exchange. Is there a way that I can achieve this? I am modeling a river's water temperature. I would appreciate any insights. Thank you, Wenwei

The width of each segment is in the tsr file I(f one is set up for a segment). Also the TSR file in V3.72 and higher has all the heat flux terms at that segment noted so that you can do a careful analysis of the heat flux terms. There is no way to control the heat flux at the air-water surface - it is dependent on the radiation terms themselves (i.e. meteorological data/shading and surface temperature). Scott

Thank you! I was trying to output width of all the segments but TSR files work as well. It's also good to confirm with you that there are not coefficients that tweaks heat flux at the air-water surface.
