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
Model domain Terrestrial, Hydrology
One-line model description Fill sinks in a landscape to the brim, following the Barnes et al. (2014) algorithms.
Extended model description Uses the Barnes et al (2014) algorithms to replace pits in a topography with flats, or optionally with very shallow gradient surfaces to allow continued draining.

This component is NOT intended for use iteratively as a model runs; rather, it is to fill in an initial topography. If you want to repeatedly fill pits as a landscape develops, you are after the LakeMapperBarnes component. If you want flow paths on your filled landscape, manually run a FlowDirector and FlowAccumulator for yourself.

The locations and depths etc. of the fills will be tracked, and properties are provided to access this information.

Keywords:

depressions, flow routing,

Describe input parameters grid : ModelGrid

A grid.

surface : field name at node or array of length node
The surface to fill.

method : {'Steepest', 'D8'}
Whether or not to recognise diagonals as valid flow paths, if a raster. Otherwise, no effect.

fill_flat : bool
If True, pits will be filled to perfectly horizontal. If False, the new surface will be slightly inclined (at machine precision) to give steepest descent flow paths to the outlet, once they are calculated.

ignore_overfill : bool
If True, suppresses the Error that would normally be raised during creation of a gentle incline on a fill surface (i.e., if not fill_flat). Typically this would happen on a synthetic DEM where more than one outlet is possible at the same elevation. If True, the was_there_overfill property can still be used to see if this has occurred.
