Output Files
Grid Specification
All output files are on the same MODIS Sinusoidal grid as the input files (see Directory Structure). Each file has dimensions:
11700 x 4200 x 365
corresponding to the full North American domain at 1 km resolution for a single water year (October 1 – September 30).
Primary Outputs
The two science outputs are SWE.nc and Precip.nc:
| File | Description | Approximate Size |
|---|---|---|
SWE.nc |
Daily snow water equivalent [m] | ~16 GB |
Precip.nc |
Daily accumulated snowfall [m] | ~27 GB |
These are written to:
/discover/nobackup/projects/coressd/Blender/Runs/WYxxxx/outputs/
Other Output Files
The remaining files in the outputs/ directory (G.nc, Gmelt.nc, Gpv.nc, Gmeltpv.nc, SWEpv.nc, Upv.nc, Us.nc) are either placeholders or non-functional outputs carried over from the original Blender manuscript. These should be removed in a future cleanup of the pipeline.
Note:
Gmelt.ncis the same size asPrecip.nc(~27 GB) because it was used as a duplicate write target during testing and was never disabled. It does not contain meaningful output.
