i04 VICGrid

VIC grid polygons represent the Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) model spatial discretization of input forcing parameters (precipitation, temperature, wind speed), physical parameters (land use, soil, elevation, etc.), and simulated hydrologic parameters (snow water equivalent, runoff, baseflow, etc.) on a 1/16th degree (nominal 6km by 6km) spatial resolution. Each polygon represents the location of where a set of computations occur throughout the simulation period. Input parameters and physical parameters are defined by the modeler and used to calculate the simulated hydrologic parameters.
