Information

Level 5 – derived model parameters and Parameters sets (Brigalow  RS catchment study)

Howleaky parameter files can be found with dot text file extensions. To use these files in Howleaky the dot files need to be changed as follows:

  1. Climate to .p51 extension;
  2. Soil to .soil extension;
  3. Vegetation to .vege extension;
  4. Phosphorous to .phos extension;
  5. Nitrate to .nitr extension; and
  6. Pesticides to .pest extension.

The Brigalow Howleaky assessment report should be read prior to the use of below parameter files. The report outlines which parameter files were incorporated into the simulation and justifies their use. The report also compares measured and simulated results and describes the success of generated parameter files.
