The path and name of the EFDC model dll file to use (relative to this configuration file). The timeZone that is used by the EFDC model. This should be the offset of the timeZone with respect to GMT, in hours between -12 and 12. The model template directory (relative to this configuration file). This directory will be cloned to create instance directories. Base name for instance directories (relative to this configuration file). The number of the instance will be appended to this base name to create the instance directory name. The path and name of one or more input netcdf files (relative to the instance directory). Together these input files must contain all (boundary) input data that is needed for the model to run. If the (boundary) input data should be different for different model instances, then use the option boundaryProvider in the blackBoxStochModel config instead. The path and name of the model output netcdf file (relative to the instance directory). This file will be created during the model run. After each model timestep the model output data will be written to this file. The path and name of the analysis output netcdf file (relative to the instance directory). This file will be created during the model run. After each analysis time the updated state will be written to this file. Configuration for an EFDC model factory. It contains information on the dll file to be loaded, the model to be used and the input and output files for the model.
