SBM

The Table below shows the parameters (fields) of struct SBM, including a description of these parameters, the unit, and default value if applicable. The parameters in bold represent model parameters that can be set through static and forcing input data (netCDF), and can be listed in the TOML configuration file under [input.vertical], to map the internal model parameter to the external netCDF variable. For some input parameters the parameter listed under [input.vertical] is not equal to the internal model parameter, these are listed in the Table below between parentheses after the internal model parameter. For example, internal model parameter sl is mapped as follows in the TOML file to the external netCDF variable Sl:

[input.vertical]
specific_leaf = "Sl"

Different vertical hydraulic conductivity depth profiles: exponential (default), exponential_constant, layered and layered_exponential can be provided through the TOML file. Below an example for the exponential_constant profile:

[input.vertical]
ksat_profile = "exponential_constant"

For the exponential profile the input parameters kv_0 and f are used. For the exponential_constant profile kv_0 and f are used, and z_exp is required as input. For the layered profile, input parameter kv is used, and for the layered_exponential profile kv is used and z_layered is required as input.
