PRINTSIMSTATUS

Owned by Former user (Deleted)
Last updated: Nov 14, 2024 by Daniel Princz

This flag controls how and if the simulation summary is printed to screen.

PRINTSIMSTATUS (VERBOSEMODE)

VERBOSEMODE was renamed internally to PRINTSIMSTATUS in r1398, though use of VERBOSEMODE remains supported.

Option

Option

Description

Supported since

default

The default daily summary is printed to screen (including observed and simulated streamflow if channel routing is enabled and columns of daily basin-average precipitation, evapotranspiration, and runoff if the water balance is enabled), where the leading day is in the "YEAR JDAY" format.

r1398

on

1

r767

monthly

A monthly summary is printed to screen (including monthly basin-average precipitation, evapotranspiration, and runoff if the water balance is enabled), where the leading day is the last day of that month in the "YEAR JDAY" format. Streamflow is not included in the summary, even if channel routing is enabled.

r1398

date_daily

A daily summary is printed to screen (including observed and simulated streamflow if channel routing is enabled and columns of daily basin-average precipitation, evapotranspiration, and runoff if the water balance is enabled), where the leading day is in the "YEAR/MONTH/DAY" format.

date_monthly

A monthly summary is printed to screen (including monthly basin-average precipitation, evapotranspiration, and runoff if the water balance is enabled), where the leading day is the last day of that month in the "YEAR/MONTH/DAY" format. Streamflow is not included in the summary, even if channel routing is enabled.

off

Disables screen output during the simulation. Nothing is printed to screen after the "STARTING MESH" message, until the "Reached end of forcing data." or "Reached simulation end date." message.

0

r767

The word options of this flag are only supported in MESH 1.4.1398 and later.

Examples

Default behaviour (PRINTSIMSTATUS on)

Without including PRINTSIMSTATUS in the list of control flags or by activating it with the options default, on or 1, the default daily summary is printed to screen during the simulation.

The summary includes a line printed at the end of each simulation day, specified by current simulation year and day-of-year, followed by couplets of observations read from file and simulated streamflow if channel routing is enabled, and three columns for daily basin-averaged precipitation, evapotranspiration, and runoff at the basin outlet if the water balance is enabled.

Disabled (PRINTSIMSTATUS off)

If PRINTSIMSTATUS is included in the list of control flags with the options off or 0, no summary will be printed to screen during the simulation. Initialization and end-of-run information will still be printed to screen, as well as any diagnostic information if DIAGNOSEMODE is enabled.

Controlling the date format

If PRINTSIMSTATUS is enabled, the frequency and format of the date printed to screen can be changed using various word options.

Day-of-year format, monthly frequency (PRINTSIMSTATUS monthly)

Setting PRINTSIMSTATUS with the monthly option will preserve the year and day-of-year format from the default summary, but only print the summary to screen at the end of each month.

The summary includes a line printed at the end of each simulation month, specified by current simulation year and day-of-year, followed by couplets of the daily streamflow observation read from file and simulated streamflow on that day if channel routing is enabled, and three columns containing the monthly basin-averaged total precipitation, evapotranspiration, and runoff at the basin outlet if the water balance is enabled.

Calendar-day format (PRINTSIMSTATUS date_daily)

Setting PRINTSIMSTATUS with the date_daily option prints the default summary to screen except with the leading date using calendar-day YEAR/MONTH/DAY format.

Calendar-day format, monthly frequency (PRINTSIMSTATUS date_monthly)

Setting PRINTSIMSTATUS with the date_monthly option prints the monthly summary to screen (see above) except with the leading date using calendar-day YEAR/MONTH/DAY format.
