Maximum inundation depth file (maxinundepth.63)

The maximum inundation depth (maxinundepth.63) file records the peak inundation depth (in meters) above ground that occurred during the simulation. The data are only recorded in areas that are initially dry according to the initiallydry.63 file. The values are -99999.0 if the area was never wet during the simulation.

The writing of the maxinundepth.63 output file is activated when the inundationOutput parameter is set to .true. in the optional inundationOutputContol namelist at the bottom of the fort.15 file.

The file contains two data sets. The first dataset contains the peak inundation value, and the second data set contains the time of occurrence of the peak inundation value in seconds since cold start.

The basic file structure is shown below. Each line of output is represented by a line containing the output variable name(s) in bold face type. Blank lines are to enhance readability. Loops indicate multiple lines of output. Definitions of each variable are provided via hot links.

Output may be in ascii or netCDF format depending on how NOUTGE is set in the Model Parameter and Periodic Boundary Condition (fort.15) File.

Notes:

The maxinundepth.63 file is written at the very end of the simulation, after timestepping is complete. The values only reflect the current run, even if the run was hotstarted. The data in the maxinundepth.63 file only record maximum inundation depth in areas that are initially dry, according to the initiallydry.63 file.
