WOFOST Model Parameters¶
Note
It is the user's responsibility to ensure that parameter files are formatted appropriately.
The WOFOST parameters serve the following main purposes:
- Define crop specific parameters
- Define management specific parameters
The crop parameters are supplied to VIC-WUR in a text file. The file should contain a single line per VIC-WOFOST crop. Each line contains the following information (in order)
Below is a list of crop parameters.
| Variable Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Base path | Path | Root WOFOST working directory |
| Crop path | Path | WOFOST crop parameter file |
| Management path | Path | WOFOST management parameter file |
| Default planting date | dd-mm | Default WOFOST planting date (overwitten by crop parameters) |
| Emergence flag | N/A | Do simulations start at emergence? |
