Lohmann Routing

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides an end-to-end workflow to parameterize and run the VIC routing module, converting VIC runoff into river discharge for watershed-scale analysis.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Automated routing parameter generation: Produces routing inputs (direc, xmask, frac, staloc, UH) and a rout_global configuration from high-level VIC data.
• VIC input preprocessing & integration: Prepares VIC outputs (dem, soil parameters) and creates the necessary VIC-in inputs (vic_in) for routing.
• End-to-end execution: Validates prerequisites with preflight checks, executes the routing model, and outputs routing results for further analysis.
• Use Case: Researchers can automatically generate routing parameters for a basin, run the VIC routing model, and inspect daily discharge files without manual wiring.

Quick Start

Prepare routing parameters for your basin and run the VIC routing model using rout_global.txt after linking VIC outputs to vic_in and ensuring required UH/all files are in place.
