Climate Data
CLIGEN Information Using Climate data in WEPP Windows Breakpoint Climate Generator
Cligen parameter files for about 2600 stations in the US are included in the install package.
12/11/2008 - Cligen PAR file documentation for wind speed and wind speed standard deviation should be stated in units of m/s. In addition to the input file for Cligen (PAR file), the Cligen output file and WEPP model use units of m/s for wind speed. The corrected Cligen PAR file documentation is available here. The WEPP model, Cligen model and climate data files have not changed.
Soil Data
Soil parameter inputs for WEPP are based on 1992 SOILS-5 data. The install package includes soil archive files for each state. These archives can be used with the WEPP Windows Interface by selecting the Tools menu and then Soil Archive Program.
Management Data
Example managements for agriculture, rangeland and forest are included in the install package.
