Hi @cbblanke

Thanks for the question. I believe you have described things correctly. This line in your MODEL_OUTPUT.TBL file probably looks similar to this:

Evap: 1 kg/m2s UP 3 0 0 1 139 10000 # Total Evapotranspiration (kg/m2s)

The "3" in the line above tells LIS to write accumulated output.

You are correct that for the instance above, you need to multiply by the number of seconds in a timestep to get the total amount.

However, LIS is correctly doing exactly what you are telling it to do. LIS is outputting the accumulation of the rate over your output interval.

If you want the daily accumulation, you can simply change the units to "kg/m2" and run again.

Evap: 1 kg/m2 UP 3 0 0 1 139 10000…
