CemaNeige Info

Configuration file for the CemaNeige snow model. Required when using snow modeling.

File Naming

<Catchment>_CemaNeigeInfo.csv

Example: Au Saumon_CemaNeigeInfo.csv

Format

Key-value pairs in CSV format (no header row).

Required Keys

Key	Description	Units
QNBV	Mean annual solid precipitation	mm/year
AltiBand	Altitude band boundaries	m (semicolon-separated)
Z50	Median catchment altitude	m
Lat	Catchment latitude	degrees

Example

QNBV,354.9
AltiBand,379;433;474;532;672
Z50,474
Lat,45.482

Notes

• AltiBand values define the boundaries of elevation bands, separated by semicolons
• The number of altitude layers is determined by the number of values in AltiBand
• QNBV (Quantité de Neige du Bassin Versant) represents average annual snowfall
• Z50 is the median elevation, used for temperature lapse rate calculations
• Lat (latitude) is used for day length calculations in the snow model
