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 1.5D Spatial extent Landscape-Scale, Reach-Scale, Regional-Scale, Watershed-Scale Model domain Terrestrial, Hydrology One-line model description Component to calculate drainage area and accumulate flow, while permitting dynamic loss or gain of flow downstream. Extended model description This component is closely related to the FlowAccumulator, in that this is accomplished by first finding flow directions by a user-specified method and then calculating the drainage area and discharge. However, this component additionally requires the passing of a function that describes how discharge is lost or gained downstream, f(Qw, nodeID, linkID, grid). See examples at https://github.com/landlab/landlab/blob/master/landlab/components/flow_accum/lossy_flow_accumulator.py to see how this works in practice.

A string of method or class name (e.g. 'D8' or 'FlowDirectorD8'), an uninstantiated FlowDirector class, or an instance of a FlowDirector class. This sets the method used to calculate flow directions. Default is 'FlowDirectorSteepest' runoff_rate : field name, array, or float, optional (m/time) If provided, sets the runoff rate and will be assigned to the grid field 'water__unit_flux_in'. If a spatially and and temporally variable runoff rate is desired, pass this field name and update the field through model run time. If both the field and argument are present at the time of initialization, runoff_rate will *overwrite* the field. If neither are set, defaults to spatially constant unit input. depression_finder : string, class, instance of class, optional A string of class name (e.g., 'DepressionFinderAndRouter'), an uninstantiated DepressionFinder class, or an instance of a DepressionFinder class. This sets the method for depression finding. loss_function : Python function, optional A function of the form f(Qw, [node_ID, [linkID, [grid]]]), where Qw is the discharge at a node, node_ID the ID of the node at which the loss is to be calculated, linkID is the ID of the link down which the outflow drains (or a d8 ID if the routing is d8), and grid is a Landlab ModelGrid. The function then returns the new discharge at the node after the function is applied. Note that if a linkID is needed, a nodeID must also be specified, even if only as a dummy parameter; similarly, if a grid is to be passed, all of the preceding parameters must be specified. Both nodeID and linkID are required to permit spatially variable losses, and also losses dependent on flow path geometry (e.g., flow length). The grid is passed to allow fields or grid properties describing values across the grid to be accessed for the loss calculation (see examples). This function expects (float, [int, [int, [ModelGrid]]]), and return a single float, the new discharge value. This behavior is verified during component instantiation. kwargs : optional Any additional parameters to pass to a FlowDirector or DepressionFinderAndRouter instance (e.g., partion_method for FlowDirectorMFD). This will have no effect if an instantiated component is passed using the flow_director or depression_finder keywords.]] Input format ASCII Other input format Describe output parameters [[Describe output parameters model::"drainage_area": { "dtype": float, "intent": "out", "optional": False, "units": "m**2", "mapping": "node", "doc": "Upstream accumulated surface area contributing to the node's discharge", } "flow__data_structure_delta": { "dtype": int, "intent": "out", "optional": False, "units": "-", "mapping": "node", "doc": "Node array containing the elements delta[1:] of the data structure 'delta' used for construction of the downstream-to-upstream node array", } "flow__upstream_node_order": { "dtype": int, "intent": "out", "optional": False, "units": "-", "mapping": "node", "doc": "Node array containing downstream-to-upstream ordered list of node IDs", } "surface_water__discharge": { "dtype": float, "intent": "out", "optional": False, "units": "m**3/s", "mapping": "node", "doc": "Volumetric discharge of surface water", } "surface_water__discharge_loss": { "dtype": float, "intent": "out", "optional": False, "units": "m**3/s", "mapping": "node", "doc": "Total volume of water per second lost during all flow out of the node", } "topographic__elevation": { "dtype": float, "intent": "in", "optional": True, "units": "m", "mapping": "node", "doc": "Land surface topographic elevation", } "water__unit_flux_in": { "dtype": float, "intent": "in", "optional": True, "units": "m/s", "mapping": "node", "doc": "External volume water per area per time input to each node (e.g., rainfall rate)", }]] Output format ASCII Other output format Pre-processing software needed?
