This repository includes source codes for the DRM and 2-layer DRM (2L-DRM) models. The following explains the input files required to run the models and the output files from the models.

- Forcing data:
| File names | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| A | DRMyyyy0601WRFddd_ET.txt | evapotranspiration (ET) with daily resolution |
| B | DRMyyyy0601WRFddd_PP.txt | precipitation (PP) with daily resolution* |
| C | DRMyyyy0601WRFddd_PW.txt | precipitable water (PW) with daily resolution |
| D | DRMyyyy0601WRFddd_U3.txt | column vapor weighted U with 3-hourly resolution |
| E | DRMyyyy0601WRFddd_V3.txt | column vapor weighted V with 3-hourly resolution |
(*Precipitation is used to weight regional contribution, is not necessary if replaced by PW to weight)
- Region setup files (both can be found in this repository as examples):
| File names | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| A | WRF_Tracer_NAM_ij.txt | list of i and j indices for target region grids in the domain |
| B | WRF_Tracer_5reg.txt | regional masks for each sub-region defined in the domain (specify each sub-region with a different value) |
| File names | description | |
|---|---|---|
| A* | WRF_OUTPUT_yyyy_GRDR_PW.txt | currently not used |
| B* | WRF_OUPTUT_yyyy_DAYR_PW.txt | ratio contributions from each sub-region to target region |
| C* | WRF_OUTPUT_yyyy_BCTJ_PW.txt | recording information along each back-trajectory (diagnosing purpose) |
(*"_PW" in output files indicate regional contributions weighted by precipitable water)
