SEAMLESS-WAVE
SEAMLESS-WAVE is a developing “SoftwarE infrAstructure for Multi-purpose fLood modElling at variouS scaleS” based on "WAVElets" and their versatile properties. The vision behind SEAMLESS-WAVE is to produce an intelligent and holistic modelling framework, which can drastically reduce iterations in building and testing for an optimal model setting, and in controlling the propagation of model-error due to scaling effects and of uncertainty due statistical inputs.
Spatially- and temporarily-varying rainfall file (.nc)
This file is used to set a spatially- and temporally-varying rainfall from a weather radar or numerical weather prediction model. The file must be in TUFLOW NetCDF rainfall format.
The rainfall accumulation (in mm) is stored for each rainfall “tile” for each time interval. The first rainfall timestamp should be 0, corresponding to the start of the simulation, and the total length of the simulation (i.e sim_time in the .par file) should be no longer than the duration of the rainfall time series.
The rainfall file must have the same origin as the DEM (i.e. xllcorner, yllcorner). The size of a rainfall tile can be larger than the DEM cell size (i.e. cellsize in the .par file) but it must be an integer multiple of the DEM’s cell size.
To use this option, the item dynamicrainfile must be included in the .par file, followed by the name of the .nc file to be read. Case study “5. Eden 2015 fluvial flooding” provides an example of how the .nc file is used.
