SAM Document File List

The SAMwin documentation is available here in several PDF files. The manual chapters contains both discussions of how the program makes its calculations, including some theory, and information on input and output file creation and interpretation. The appendices, A through F provide a list of variables, detailed descriptions of the input for each of the three calculation modules, and a guide for using SAM.aid.
