Starting with “warm” states

The state section in the TOML file provides information on the input file if the model is initialized with a warm state (path_input) and to what file the states are written at the end of the model run (path_output). Please note that the model setting reinit needs to be set to false in order to initialize the model with states from the file located at path_input. A mapping between external state names and internal model states is required. This information is specified for each model component, the vertical model and lateral model components. In the example below the vertical component represents the SBM concept, and for the lateral components there is a river (including optional reservoir, lake and floodplain components), land and subsurface domain. The internal model states are listed on the left side, and the external state names are listed on the right side. Note that path_input is only required when reinit is set to false. path_output is optional, an output state file is only written when it is defined. If neither is set, the entire state section can be left out.
