# ### Cohort output General structure: per variable one data file as follows <sitename>_<var>.<type><anz_sim> with: <sitename> location name <var> content description <type> typ of output file <anz_sim> number of simulation Detailed information about yearly and daily output can be found in the respective chapters. The following tables give an overview on the names of the variables of the cohorts which are listed in daily or yearly resolution and their description. Additional, there are two output files with a special format. The output shows the values of one tree of the respective cohort. Daily output of cohort variables (one tree, <type> = out)
