Worldfiles

Be warned that the grass2world parser program is not very flexible when it comes to file formats. The template file is parsed in based on the order in which variables occur, and all fields must be specified. A world file consists of three parts. First, there are two dates giving the start and end time of the simulation. Second, is a list of support files, such as def files and met station information that grass2world must incorporate. The last and largest section, sets initial values for various parameters at various spacial levels.

start date <year month day hour>
end date <year month day hour>
<number of basin defs>
..paths to basin defs
<number of hillslope defs>
..paths to hillslope defs
<number of zone defs>
..paths to zone defs
<number of soil defs>
..paths to soils defs
<number of landuse defs>
..paths to landuse defs
<number of vegetation defs>
..paths to vegeation defs
<number of met stations>
..paths to met stations
