Property:Describe length scale and resolution
From CSDMS
This is a property of type Text.
C
There are two primary constraints:
# Like most topographically-routed cellular river models, incised channels in the model will always be one cell wide. Hence it should not be applied at scales where the cell size is much less than main channel widths.
# The model does not really simulate low-Froude low-slope rivers such as most large coastal deltas. However processes are similar to many other codes (e.g. DIONISOS) commonly used for large-scale deltas. If primary questions are about large-scale basin filling on O(10 ka) or longer timescales the model should be fine. However when questions relate to details of sub-millenial geomorphic processes or reservoir-scale stratigraphic architecture, some care must be taken in interpreting model results. +
F
There is no specific length scale and resolution to the index, as long as temperature conditions remains similar over the scale. +
D
This algorithm attempts to identify channel head, which are features present on a metre to sub-metre scale. Therefore, the accuracy of the prediction will decrease as the DEM resolution becomes coarser. 1 to 2m resolution DEMs are suggested as appropriate for use with this tool. +
H
This algorithm attempts to measure individual hillslopes, which are can be resolved at a range of spatial scales. It is recommended to use high resolution topographic data (<4 meter resolution) to ensure that a broad range of hillslopes can be sampled. +
G
This code currently only works on a single watershed. +
S
This component has been tested on the reach and watershed scale (<= 100 km^2), but can likely run effectively on even larger scales as needed. +
O
This is a point model and not dependent on length scale or resolution. +
B
G
This works for channels of hundreds of meters with 1 m cells +
C
Transect model with landscape of ~10 km (5 km bay, 1 km marsh, and 4 km forest in base version), 1 m grid scale horizontally. +
Transect model with landscape of ~10 km (5 km bay, 1 km marsh, and 4 km forest in base version), 1 m grid scale horizontally. +
Typical applications involve coastal systems tens to hundreds of kilometers in extent. Very useful when there are many components in the coastal system. Although the gridded portion of the model usually use delta x and y values on the order of 100s of meters there is a sub-grid scale representation of the shoreline position with resolution of meters. +
E
C
Typical resolution for open-ocean propagation: 2-4 arc-min, near the coast: 30-1 arc-sec; for lab experiments: tens to few cm. +
N
Typically applied to high resolution (1 m LiDAR) gridded topographic datasets. Could pheasably be applied to other resolutions where the scale of noise is similar to the resolution of the topographic data. +
B
G
M
Variable - targeted towards drainage basin or larger scales. Spatial scale determined by input parameter and run-time specification of array dimentions. Uses rectangular grid cells. +
