Information
Level 5 – derived model parameters and Parameters sets
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:
- Climate to .p51 extension;
- Soil to .soil extension;
- Vegetation to .vege extension;
- Phosphorous to .phos extension; and
- Pesticides to .pest extension.
The Kairi 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.
