Notes

1. Testing GitHub Workflow This section is to test the GitHub Actions workflow.

2. RVIC Compilation Note Please note that RVIC should not be compiled with VIC if you wish to use parallel processing (e.g., mpiexec).

   There are two types of compilation:

   • Compile VIC with RVIC: You can run VIC with RVIC and set different timesteps.

   • Compile VIC without RVIC: You can run VIC in parallel, but you will need to run RVIC separately (rvic.convolution.convolution). Make sure to prepare the rvic.convolution.cfg configuration file. Additionally, ensure that the VIC output timestep (daily or hourly) matches the UHBOX timestep (86400 seconds for daily, 3600 seconds for hourly).
