Datasets for Observational Sites
|
|
==================================
|
|
|
|
There are two ways to customize datasets for a particular observational site.
|
|
The first is to customize the input to the tools that create the dataset, and the second is to over-write the default data after you've created a given dataset.
|
|
Depending on the tool it might be easier to do it one way or the other.
|
|
In `Table 3-1 <CLM-URL>`_ we list the files that are most likely to be customized and the way they might be customized.
|
|
Of those files, the ones you are most likely to customize are: fatmlndfrc, fsurdat, faerdep (for DATM), and stream_fldfilename_ndep.
|
|
Note **mksurfdata_map** as documented previously has options to overwrite the vegetation and soil types.
|
|
For more information on this also see `the Section called Creating your own single-point/regional surface datasets in Chapter 5 <CLM-URL>`_.
|
|
And PTCLM uses these methods to customize datasets see `Chapter 6 <CLM-URL>`_.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Another aspect of customizing your input datasets is customizing the input atmospheric forcing datasets.
|
|
See `the Section called Running with your own atmosphere forcing in Chapter 5 <CLM-URL>`_ for more information on this.
|
|
Also the chapter on PTCLM in `the Section called Converting AmeriFlux Data for use by PTCLM in Chapter 6 <CLM-URL>`_ has information on using the AmeriFlux tower site data as atmospheric forcing.
