3.7. SUEWS-SPARTACUS (SS) input files#

To run SUEWS-SS the SS specific files that need to be modified are:

Non-SS specific SUEWS input file parameters also need to have appropriate values. For example, LAI, albedos and emissivities are used by SUEWS-SS as explained in More background information.

3.7.1. RunControl.nml#

See NetRadiationMethod (sensible values are 1001, 1002 or 1003) in RunControl.nml parameter.

3.7.2. SUEWS_SPARTACUS.nml#

This file is used to specify the SS model options when coupled to SUEWS.

A sample file of SUEWS_SPARTACUS.nml is shown below:
