title: Rapid Input And Output Files Corresponding To "Rapid Applied To The Sim-France Model"

description: <strong>Corresponding peer-reviewed publication</strong>

This dataset corresponds to all the RAPID input and output files that were used in the study reported in:


	David, Cédric H., Florence Habets, David R. Maidment and Zong-Liang Yang (2011), RAPID applied to the SIM-France model, Hydrological Processes, 25(22), 3412-3425. DOI: 10.1002/hyp.8070. 


 

When making use of any of the files in this dataset, please cite both the aforementioned article and the dataset herein. 

 

<strong>Time format</strong>

The times reported in this description all follow the ISO 8601 format.  For example 2000-01-01T16:00-06:00 represents 4:00 PM (16:00) on Jan 1<sup>st</sup> 2000 (2000-01-01), Central Standard Time (-06:00).  Additionally, when time ranges with inner time steps are reported, the first time corresponds to the beginning of the first time step, and the second time corresponds to the end of the last time step.  For example, the 3-hourly time range from 2000-01-01T03:00+00:00 to 2000-01-01T09:00+00:00 contains two 3-hourly time steps.  The first one starts at 3:00 AM and finishes at 6:00AM on Jan 1<sup>st</sup> 2000, Universal Time; the second one starts at 6:00 AM and finishes at 9:00AM on Jan 1<sup>st</sup> 2000, Universal Time.

<strong>Known bugs and limitations in this dataset or the associated manuscript.</strong>

A small bug in RAPID v1.1.0 was discovered and fixed on 2011-07-16 that had an impact on the optimization of parameters when using forcing data to replace upstream simulations.  This bug led to erroneous results for only two of the basins where upstream forcing was used: Garonne River Basin, downstream; and Rhone River Basin, downstream.  The bug had no influence on: Loire River Basin, downstream, and Seine River Basin, downstream; or on any of the other simulations.   This should not affect the conclusions of David et al. (2011) since only a few locations were impacted.
