DtPlotDischarge behaves differently in version 2.0 and 2.1

[cozzini]

if DtPlotDischarge is lower than timestep it is automatically set to Dt (each hours) in version 2.0.0 while in version 2.1 is simply ignored.
This means that discharge.txt file is just one line that containts headers on version 2.1.

Hi @cozzini , DtPlotDischarge is compared to a value called minDt and not Dt:

geotop/src/geotop/parameters.cc

Line 1427 in eaa345c

if (par->Dtplot_discharge > 1.E-5 && par->Dtplot_discharge <= minDt)

there is no change in this behavior between 2.0 and 2.1, also minDt is initialized with the same value,
but the value of minDt is initialized but in 2.1 never changed.
On the other side minDt is initialized to a very high value:

geotop/src/geotop/parameters.cc

Line 1358 in eaa345c

double minDt = 1.E99;

again, also 2.0 uses the same value for initialization of minDt
What do you think about it?

I looked at the next steps.
So the Point where Dtplot_discharge is changed in 2.0 was a function called set_time_step.
In 2.0 you had the chance to execute a Simulation more often and probably with different dt values, as far as I understood this has been removed in 2.1, but the correction of this single Dt values also was removed.

I saw that in the 3D example snow_dstr_SENSITIVITY we faced this bug, when I created the discharge file in fact it was different than the one calculated by SE27XX, but I think this is already known that there are some differences, Right?

In fact same can be done not only for discharge, but also for Basin and Point.....
