C.5 Instantaneous volumetric flux entering a groundwater layer

The instantaneous volumetric flux entering a groundwater layer from above has the following properties:

• Content:
  • Reports the temporally and spatially varying instantaneous flux of water entering a groundwater layer from above
• Name:
  • “GW QZ Layer <Layer number>”, e.g. “GW QZ Layer 4”
• Units:
  • Cubic meters per second

Depending on model configuration, these fluxes may be ‘noisy’ given their instantaneous calculation. Time integrated equivalent quantities are therefore additionally provided (see Section C.6). One field is produced for each groundwater layer, and labelled ‘…Layer X’, where X is the layer number.
