Apply MetNordic meteo data to a SWAT+ setup

This function takes the output from metnordic_extract_grid() and applies it to a SWAT+ setup, with the help of SWATprepR.

swatplus_metnordic(
  directory,
  swat_setup = NULL,
  write_wgn = TRUE,
  start = NA,
  end = NA,
  sqlite_path = NULL,
  backup = FALSE,
  aux_data = NULL,
  epsg_code = NULL,
  fill_missing = TRUE,
  clean_files = TRUE,
  verbose = FALSE
)

Arguments

directory

path to weather data as created by metnordic_extract_grid()

swat_setup

path to SWAT+ setup (alternatively, you can pass a sqlite_path)

write_wgn

should the weather generator be written?

start

optional parameter to define start date of time series

end

optional parameter to define end date of time series4

sqlite_path

path to your SWAT+ sqlite file (only needed if you wish to update your database). Warning: start and end parameters will be ignored in this case (SWATprepR limitation)

backup

(logical, defaults to true) creates a backup of your swat folder before modification

aux_data

Additional (non-metnordic) data to add to your SWAT+ project. Must be a path to an .xlsx file which matches the SWATprepR format of load_template().

epsg_code

SWATprepR: (optional) Integer, EPSG code for station coordinates. Default epsg_code = 4326, which stands for WGS 84 coordinate system.

fill_missing

SWATprepR: (optional) Boolean, TRUE - fill data for missing stations with data from closest stations with available data. FALSE - leave stations without data. Weather generator will be used to fill missing variables for a model. Default fill_missing = TRUE.

clean_files

SWATprepR: Logical, if TRUE, will remove all existing weather files in model setup folder before writing new ones. Default clean_files = TRUE.

verbose

print to console?

Value

path to SWAT+ setup
