|One-line data description=The drainage area of North America at 3 arc sec resolution, from 7°N, 55°W to 60°N, 142°W&lt;br /&gt;
|Extended data description=The drainage area in m&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; (rather than number of cells) for the 63600 x 104400 cells between 7°N, 55°W and 60°N, 142°W at 3 arcsecond resolution.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The 3 arcsecond flow direction data from HydroSHEDS were used as input to a drainage area calculation method ([[Model:IDA|IDA]]). The drainage area data were created in 64-bit floating point (&#039;double precision&#039;) format, but to reduce download size this was reduced to 32-bit floating point (&#039;single precision&#039;) format for distribution. NetCDF4&#039;s level 1 deflation with shuffling was employed to further reduce file size.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The NetCDF file contains three variables: drainage_area, lon, and lat. The first of these contains the drainage area data, while the latter two contain the coordinates in degrees.&lt;br /&gt;

|One-line model description=An implementation of the Implicit Drainage Area method (regular and hybrid versions) for calculating drainage area from flow directions using parallel iterative solvers.&lt;br /&gt;
|Extended model description=IDA formulates the task of determing the drainage area, given flow directions, as a system of implicit equations. This allows the use of iterative solvers, which have the advantages of being parallelizable on distributed memory systems and widely available through libraries such as PETSc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Using the open source PETSc library (which must be downloaded and installed separately), IDA permits large landscapes to be divided among processors, reducing total runtime and memory requirements per processor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is possible to reduce run time with the use of an initial guess of the drainage area. This can either be provided as a file, or use a serial algorithm on each processor to correctly determine the drainage area for the cells that do not receive flow from outside the processor&#039;s domain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The hybrid IDA method, which is enabled with the -onlycrossborder option, uses a serial algorithm to solve for local drainage on each processor, and then only uses the parallel iterative solver to incorporate flow between processor domains. This generally results in a significant reduction in total runtime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Currently only D8 flow directions are supported. Inputs and outputs are raw binary files.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
  The numbers corresponding to each of the 9 possible flow directions are&lt;br /&gt;
  shown below:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  32  64 128&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  16  0   1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  8   4   2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  So a cell with the value &#039;1&#039; means that the flow in that cell goes to the&lt;br /&gt;
  East, while a value of &#039;32&#039; means that the cell&#039;s flow goes to the&lt;br /&gt;
  North West. The value &#039;0&#039; implies that the cell is a sink and flow does not&lt;br /&gt;
  leave it&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  Row major order is used.&lt;br /&gt;
|Input format=Binary&lt;br /&gt;
|Describe output parameters=Output drainage area, true drainage area, and initial guess:&lt;br /&gt;
  64 bit float (&#039;double&#039;)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  Row major order is used.&lt;br /&gt;
  The drainage area of cells with no drainage to or from them, such as ocean&lt;br /&gt;
  cells, will be the area of the cell itself (1.0, if all cells are given&lt;br /&gt;
  unit area).&lt;br /&gt;
|Output format=Binary&lt;br /&gt;

{{Process description model&lt;br /&gt;
|Describe processes represented by the model=Computation of drainage area, which, for a particular cell, is the sum of cells that drain through that cell.&lt;br /&gt;
|Describe key physical parameters and equations=Flow direction: the direction to the immediately neighboring cell (N,NE,E,...) to which flow from a cell is directed.&lt;br /&gt;
Drainage area: The size of the total number of cells that drain through a cell.&lt;br /&gt;
|Describe length scale and resolution constraints=Increasing the number of processors should allow larger/higher resolution landscapes to be considered.&lt;br /&gt;
|Describe time scale and resolution constraints=This code does not involve time.&lt;br /&gt;
|Describe any numerical limitations and issues=If you will be processing very large landscapes then you may need to configure PETSc with the --with-64-bit-indices option.&lt;br /&gt;
}}&lt;br /&gt;
{{Model testing&lt;br /&gt;
|Describe available test data sets=As an example of running IDA, and a test to ensure that it is running&lt;br /&gt;
correctly, a small project is provided. Unpack it using&lt;br /&gt;
tar -xjf example.tar.bz2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Files: &lt;br /&gt;
  dir.bin: flow directions for a 1000 x 1000 cell landscape&lt;br /&gt;
  true.bin: the correct answer, for comparison&lt;br /&gt;
  run.sh: a Bash script to run the example. The script must be modified to &lt;br /&gt;
    specify the path to the IDA executable.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Running:&lt;br /&gt;
  Make the Bash script executable with the command chmod +x run.sh&lt;br /&gt;
  Run the Bash script with ./run.sh&lt;br /&gt;
  It will run IDA several times with different options, and may take some time&lt;br /&gt;
  Depending on your configuration of PETSc, some of the runs may fail&lt;br /&gt;
