Value

Meaning

No correction

The simulated snow depth is used as simulated for calculation of heat flows between soil and atmosphere.

Forced to match continous

The simulated snow depth is adjusted to match measured data as specified in a separate driving variable file. The measured snow depth is interpolated to correct the simulated snow depth at every timestep.

Forced to match discrete

The simulated snow depth is adjusted to match measured data as specified in a separate driving variable file. The snow depth correction is made at discrete time steps.
