SITE DEFINITION FILE ==================== This file is used to define sites for rainfall simulation. Excluding this header, there are 2 sections to the file: the first is used to define and label site attributes (e.g. elevation, Eastings etc.), and the second is to specify sites individually. Definition of site attributes: ------------------------------ The first line of the file, after this header, should contain a single integer NATTRIBS, which is the number of site attributes to be defined. The subsequent NATTRIBS lines contain text (up to 70 characters) describing each attribute: this will be used in labelling model output. Specifying individual sites --------------------------- The site definition section of the file begins on the 2nd line after the attribute definition section. Each site is defined on 2 lines: the first contains a text string (maximum 70 characters) describing the site, and the second looks something like: CODE REGION ATTRIB(1) ... ATTRIB(2) ... ATTRIB(NATTRIBS) where CODE is a 4-character string used to identify the site REGION is the number of the region in which the site lies, occupying positions 5-9 of the line (this field is optional - a value of 0 or blank associates the site with no region) ATTRIB(.) are the values of the various attributes for the site (in the order specified in the `attribute definition' section), each of which occupies the first 10 free positions of the line starting with position 10 These rows are read using the FORTRAN format A4,I5,N(F10.0) This header is 37 lines long. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3 Eastings (Netherlands local co-ordinate system) Northings (Netherlands local co-ordinate system) Altitude (metres above msl) ************************END OF ATTRIBUTE DEFINITION**************************** Ijmuiden IJMU 2 98.45 497.45 4.4 Schiphol SCHI 1 110.75 482.55 -4.4 Soesterberg SOES 1 147.25 460.08 11.9 Eindhoven EIND 1 156.80 383.95 20.3 De_Bilt DEBI 1 140.60 456.88 2.2 Deelen DEEL 1 188.33 451.95 44.4 Eelde EELD 2 235.20 571.35 3.5 Vlissingen VLIS 2 30.48 385.13 8.0 Gilze_Rijen GILZ 1 123.50 397.64 11.1
