RiverID : Serial Identification number of USGS River STATION_ID: River Identification number NWS_ID : NWS Identification number for USGS river AGENCY : Station owner agency name GRID_NODE : Serial Identification number for model grid location to specify river input FLAG : River runoff trace flag, 0: all tracers (T & S) are off; 1: only T is on; 2: only S is on; 3: both T and S are on. RiverID_Q : RiverID in Section 1 which is used to specify river discharge at the corresponding model grid RiverID_T : RiverID in Section 1 which is used to specify river temperature at the corresponding model grid Q_Scale : scaling factor of river discharge at the model grid T_scale : scaling factor of river temperature at corresponding model grid. Q_min : minimum discharge value of the river Q_mean : average discharge value of the river Q_max : maximum discharge value of the river T_min : minimum discharge value of the temperature T_mean : average discharge value of the temperature T_max : maximum discharge value of the temperature Q_Flag : 0: use climatological river discharges data (daily mean); 1:use real-time river discharge observations. : 2: use stage height, have to modify source code to use the provided formula to convert stage height into discharge >=3 discharge at the river is not used, river is for T and Salinity TS_Flag : 0: use climatological temperature data (daily mean); 1:use real-time river temperature observations. River_Bain_Name: Name of Rivers or river basins
