Glossary - AutoDEPOMOD version 3 and Velgrid

Term Definition
ADv3 AutoDEPOMOD version 3 - this can run with or without velocity grids
AD compatible velocity grids Interpolated grids of the same dimensions as the AD minor grid which contain current velocity u and v components for each grid node - these are used directly by AD to model spatially varying flows
File format CSV - Comma Separated Variable

Space - space delimited text file (.PRN, .DAT or .TXT)
HM Hydrodynamic Model
I/O Input/Output meaning Input is input data and Output is output data for a model
Interpolated grids These are grids which have been interpolated from the HM output
sitename The name of the sub-folder which is the name of the site used throughout AutoDEPOMOD
Uninterpolated grids These are grids directly output from the HM.
Velgrid The program which interpolates velocity grids from the hydrodynamic model to AD compatible velocity grids
velgridinstalldir The name of the directory where Velgrid is installed. Normally c:\velgrid
Velocity grids Grids which contain current velocity u and v components for each grid node, time step and surface, mid and near-bed
