Summary Contact Technical specs In/Output Process Testing Other Component info Also known as Model type Tool Model part of larger framework LandLab Note on status model Date note status model Incorporated models or components: Spatial dimensions 2D Spatial extent Regional-Scale, Landscape-Scale, Watershed-Scale, Reach-Scale Model domain Terrestrial, Hydrology One-line model description Single-path (steepest direction) flow direction without diagonals. Extended model description This components finds the steepest single-path steepest descent flow directions. It is equivalent to D4 method in the special case of a raster grid in that it does not consider diagonal links between nodes. For that capability, use FlowDirectorD8.

A value of -1 indicates that water flow goes from head node to tail node, while a value of 1 indicates that water flow goes from tail node to head node.", } "flow__link_to_receiver_node": { "dtype": int, "intent": "out", "optional": False, "units": "-", "mapping": "node", "doc": "ID of link downstream of each node, which carries the discharge", } "flow__receiver_node": { "dtype": int, "intent": "out", "optional": False, "units": "-", "mapping": "node", "doc": "Node array of receivers (node that receives flow from current node)", } "flow__sink_flag": { "dtype": bool, "intent": "out", "optional": False, "units": "-", "mapping": "node", "doc": "Boolean array, True at local lows", } "topographic__elevation": { "dtype": float, "intent": "in", "optional": True, "units": "m", "mapping": "node", "doc": "Land surface topographic elevation", } "topographic__steepest_slope": { "dtype": float, "intent": "out", "optional": False, "units": "-", "mapping": "node", "doc": "The steepest *downhill* slope", } Output format ASCII Other output format Pre-processing software needed? No Describe pre-processing software Post-processing software needed? No Describe post-processing software Visualization software needed? No If above answer is yes Other visualization software Describe processes represented by the model Describe key physical parameters and equations Describe length scale and resolution constraints Describe time scale and resolution constraints Describe any numerical limitations and issues Describe available calibration data sets Upload calibration data sets if available: Describe available test data sets Upload test data sets if available: Describe ideal data for testing Do you have current or future plans for collaborating with other researchers? Is there a manual available? No Upload manual if available: Model website if any https://landlab.github.io Model forum / discussion board https://github.com/landlab/landlab/issues Comments This part will be filled out by CSDMS staff OpenMI compliant Not yet"Not yet" is not in the list (Yes, No but planned, No but possible, No not possible) of allowed values for the "Code openmi compliant or not" property.
