Summary Also known as Model type Single Model part of larger framework Note on status model Date note status model Technical specs Supported platforms Windows Other platform Programming language C Other program language Code optimized Multiple processors implemented Nr of distributed processors Nr of shared processors Start year development 1999 Does model development still take place? Yes If above answer is no, provide end year model development Code development status When did you indicate the 'code development status'? Model availability Source code availability (Or provide future intension) Source web address Source csdms web address Program license type GPL v2 Program license type other Memory requirements 512Mb Typical run time 5 minutes In/Output Describe input parameters Parameters: Spatial Temporal Initial 'basement' topography Relative sea level curve Climate (arid, temperate, humid) Latitude Input format ASCII Other input format Describe output parameters Dynamic variables: water energy depositional (seafloor) slope Final output: carbonate productivity rate depositional facies Output format ASCII Other output format Pre-processing software needed? No Describe pre-processing software Post-processing software needed? Yes Describe post-processing software A 3D visualization software package. Visualization software needed? Yes If above answer is yes Other visualization software any visualization package that can import ASCII or Excel tables (X,Y,Z) Process Describe processes represented by the model Process: carbonate productivity and deposition winnowing reef development carbonate depositional facies Model determines these through five deterministic and fuzzy steps: data input data fuzzification fuzzy rule analysis aggregation of results defuzzification Describe key physical parameters and equations See above Describe length scale and resolution constraints Model does not place any spatial constraints. Describe time scale and resolution constraints Temporal scale and resolution determined by user. Model adjusts process and output to the temporal increment chosen by user. Describe any numerical limitations and issues Some of the fuzzy logic methods do not produce unique results as there are a variety of method choices that best 'match' test data. For example, the user can choose a variety of aggregation methods to calculate final carbonate facies and productivity values. Testing 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 -- Other 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 http://webs.wichita.edu/?u=wparcell&p=/index Model forum / discussion board Comments Introduction History Papers Issues Help Input Files Output Files Download Source
