This directory contains:
wbm.pl: main executable model code.
WBM.conf: configuration file, contains directory and file paths to other inputs.
RIMS.pm: custom perl library required by WBM
RIMS.conf: configuration file for RIMS.pm.
WBM_dataCube_expand.csv: list of WBM output variables, and info required for temporal aggregation by utilites/temporal_aggregation.pl.
RIMS/: directory containing RIMS perl library code.
This directory contains:
build_spool.pl: script called by WBM to generate binary input files from primary input data.
networkTools.pl: perl code to extract subsets of global digital river networks.
networkTools_manual.init: instruction manual for how to use networkTools.pl.
spatial_aggregation.pl: spatial aggregation of WBM output. Can be called by wbm.pl.
temporal_aggregation.pl: temporal aggregation of WBM output. Can be called by wbm.pl.
flip_nc.pl: flips row order in NetCDF files, if needed. Can be called by wbm.pl.
shift_pm.pl: shifts/wraps raster datasets symmetrically around prime meridian in VRT files.
This version of WBM is being released by the Water Systems Analysis Group at the University of New Hampshire. Other research groups use unique development versions of WBM that may differ from the code provided here. If you use this model, please cite the following paper:
