Understanding output units of CFE

Open hellkite500 opened this issue 3 years ago • 21 comments

Looking at some of the outputs of CFE model runs, it almost looks like the Q_OUT variable is in mm/hr, much the same as the precip_rate is. But the BMI reports Q_OUT as a unit of m. When assuming this unit and converting the value to m^3/s using the catchment area, the resulting flow values are orders of magnitude higher than expected. This also points to the units declared for this variable as being inconsistent with the units the underlying formulation is using for this variable.
