As for the nex-###.csv outputs, these are the accumulated overland flow contributions at the point from all directly connected catchments assoicated with the nexus. These values should be in units of m^3/s given that a formulation's main_output_variable returns a rate, e.g. m/s, the main_output_variable is currently automatically multiplied by the catchment's area to produce the volumetric flow rate.

That said, for users who are interested in using the CSV format, we tabulate below output as well as input variables with their units for a few commonly used hydrologic models for users' convenience.
