Download Data

Downloading Instructions

The files available for downloading are either

depending on their size and the number of files tarred together. Nodes and vegetation files are small text files and hence not been tarred or compressed. You will be able to see these files as text on your browser.

To untar and uncompress files with extension .tar.Z first use
uncompress file_name.tar.Z , to uncompress the file, then
tar vxf file_name.tar, to untar the file.

To uncompress files with extension .Z use
uncompress file_name.Z , to uncompress the file.

If a compressed file appears as meaningless characters on your browser screen you will need to change your browser options. Please click here if you do not know how to make your browser prompt you for saving the file (with a particular extension) rather than displaying it on the screen.

Topographic Data
(continued)

These topographic data are not catchment specific. The files represent simple planar strips of given length with specified slopes.

The cells are 10 m by 10 m each. Thus a 100 m strip will have 10 cells and 500 m strip will have 50 cells. Both strips are 1 cell (10 m) wide.

 Planar Strip, 100 m long, Slope = 0.1
 100m.0.1.topo.tar.Z
Planar Strip, 500 m long, Slope = 0.1
 500m.0.1.topo.tar.Z
Planar Strip, 100 m long, Slope = 0.4
 100m.0.4.topo.tar.Z
Planar Strip, 500 m long, Slope = 0.4
 500m.0.4.topo.tar.Z
Climate Data Coranderrk Catchment coran.climate.Z
Cuneca Catchment cuneca.climate.Z
Ettercon Catchment Not available yet.
Myrtle Catchment myrtle.climate.Z
Soil and Vegetation Data are not catchment specific. These are just sample data files.
Soil Data
using Broadbridge and White
soil hydraulic properties

K = Saturated hydraulic conductivity
Theta(sat) = Saturated moisture content
Theta(residual) = Residual moisture content

 K = 0.10 m/s
Theta (sat) = 0.41
Theta (residual) = 0.01
 bwk0.1c1.01.soil.Z
K = 1.0 m/s
Theta (sat) = 0.51
Theta (residual) = 0.01
 bwk1.0c1.1.soil.Z
K = 5.0 m/s
Theta (sat) = 0.71
Theta (residual) = 0.01
 bwk5.0c1.5.soil.Z
Vegetation Data
Vegetation files are simple text files.		 Wet Eucalypt Forest with no understorey weteuclp.no_under.veg
Wet Eucalypt Forest with woody understorey weteuclp.woody_under.veg
Pine Forest with no understorey pine.no_under.veg Grass grass.veg Wheat wheat.veg Grass under Eucalypt Forest grass_under_euclp.veg
Nodes Files


Nodes files are simple text files.

9 nodes files are available at present for three different soil depths and three different soil types.

Writing nodes files is extremely easy. These sample files will help you to write your own nodes files.

 1 m soil depth with one soil type 1m1l.nodes
2 m soil depth with one soil type 2m1l.nodes
5 m soil depth with one soil type 5m1l.nodes
1 m soil depth with two soil types 1m2l.nodes
2 m soil depth with two soil types 2m2l.nodes
5 m soil depth with two soil types 5m2l.nodes
1 m soil depth with three soil types 1m3l.nodes
2 m soil depth with three soil types 2m3l.nodes
5 m soil depth with three soil types 5m3l.nodes
