SOILWAT2

SOILWAT2 is an ecosystem water balance simulation model.

This repository of SOILWAT2 contains the same code that is
used by rSOILWAT2 and STEPWAT2.

If you utilize this model, please cite the code (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.3352249),
appropriate references, and we would like to hear about your particular study
(especially a copy of any published paper).

How to get started

SOILWAT2 comes with a
detailed manual
and short overviews of
inputs
and outputs.
A full code documentation may be built, see here.

Compilation

  • Requirements:

    • the gcc or clang/llvm toolchains compliant with C99
      • for unit tests (using googletest) and debugging
        • toolchains compliant with C++17 (>= gcc13, >= clang-15)
        • POSIX API
    • GNU-compliant make
    • On Windows OS: an installation of cygwin
    • the netCDF-C library (if compiled with netCDF support)
    • the udunits2 library (if compiled with udunits2 support)
    • a MPI library (tested with OpenMPI) and a parallel netCDF-C library
      (if compiled with MPI support)

  • Clone the repository
    (details can be found in the
    manual), for instance,

        git clone --recursive https://github.com/DrylandEcology/SOILWAT2.git SOILWAT2
  • Build with make (see make help to print information about all
    available targets). For instance,
        make CPPFLAGS=-DSWTXT            # text-based mode
        make CPPFLAGS=-DSWNC             # netCDF-based mode with units
        make CPPFLAGS=-DSWMPI CC=mpicc   # mpi-based mode with netCDFs and units
                                         # (here using the `mpicc` compiler)

Documentation

  • Use doxygen to generate help pages (locally) on the command-line with
    make doc (which basically runs doxygen doc/Doxyfile)

  • View documentation in your browser with make doc_open
