Property:Describe time scale and resolution
From CSDMS
This is a property of type Text.
C
Data covers 1901 to 2100.
It is processed from the original data to comprise a monthly timescale. +
S
Days or greater. Component processes can have much higher resolutions for numerical stability. +
F
D
R
G
L
P
G
Designed for time scales over which topography changes appreciably, which might be years for badlands, up to thousands or millions of years for other landscapes. +
A
Developed as a stratigraphic model, approach is event-based. Intended time scale ranges from several decades to Holocene (10-10.000yrs). +
T
Each process can have its own timestep. Typical timesteps are:
*Channel flow (seconds)
*Infiltration (seconds to minutes)
*Snowmelt (hours to days)
*Subsurface flow (hours to days), etc.
Model can be run for a full year or longer, if necessary. +
C
B
T
For typical application in a natural river as a prediction tool, the recommended resolution is annual, although it can be as high as hours for simulation of a specific known event. +
G
GENESIS is a long-term shoreline evolution model and is best applied to estimate shoreline change over time periods of 1 year to 10's of years. +
M
Generally runs with very large time steps (1 year)
Cannot resolve intra-tidal processes (i.e., ebb-flood variability) +
