The output file can be also edited with a text editor.
It is recommended to set a new output directory if any parameter is changed for a new analysis of the same dataset. Otherwise, existing results will be overwritten.
Raster groups contain sequences of file names associated with their respective time-series. It is assumed here that time-series: start at the same moment and match in length ; are at a monthly resolution; and have no gaps in between.
A summary of the available time-series and number of hydrological years is offered just before the user is prompted to enter the parameters of a particular run.
