| Table 1 - List of time series types and their abbreviations that can be used in Ecosim along with description. Notice that for reference time series, the CSV file weight can be [0, ∞] while the weight is not used for driver time series (so just set it to 0). Where no unit is indicated, the time series is a relative value (so no unit). Pool code and Pool code 2 should be numbers. | ||||||
1 Not yet implemented in EwE
2 Time series 14 replaces the catch abilities input interface in EwE 6.6
3 These time series vary the Ecopath > Input > Fleet cost proportions
