SWATdoctR

SWATdoctR is a collection of functions and routines for SWAT model calibation and model diagnostics. The R package includes routines for a guided model calibration, functions for the evaluation of the model performance, as well as functions for the visualization and diagnosis of simulation outputs. The aim of the SWATdoctR is to identify potential issues in the model setup early in the calibration process and to support the SWAT modeler to focus on a plausible process representation in the model calibration process.

First ToDos for model verification

• Write SWAT run function to extract simulation outputs for model verification
• Step 1 in verification: Simulation of climate variables
  • read basin water balance file
  • overview figure precip (snow, rain), yearly, monthly, allocation to water balance components
• Step 2: check triggered management
  • read mgt_out
  • function to extract triggered management schedules
• Step 2.1: Verification of decision tables?
• Step 3: plant growth without stress
  • read mgt_out
  • read hru_pw_day? (maybe too large to read)
  • boxplot of phu fraction at harvest for all crops
• Step 4: plant growth stress active
  • read mgt_out
  • boxplot stress factors
