Model componentsΒΆ

For wflow, the different components available for building or updating are:

setup_config

Update config with a dictionary

setup_basemaps

This component sets the region of interest and res (resolution in degrees) of the model.

setup_rivers

This component sets the river parameter maps including a boolean river mask, length, slope.

setup_lakes

This component generates maps of lake areas and outlets as well as parameters with average lake area, depth a discharge values.

setup_reservoirs

This component generates maps of lake areas and outlets as well as parameters with average reservoir area, demand, min and max target storage capacities and discharge capacity values.

setup_glaciers

This component generates maps of glacier areas, area fraction and volume fraction, as well as tables with temperature thresohld, melting factor and snow-to-ice convertion fraction.

setup_lulcmaps

This component derives several wflow maps are derived based on landuse- landcover (LULC) data.

setup_laimaps

This component sets leaf area index (LAI) climatoloy maps per month.

setup_soilmaps

This component derives several (layered) soil parameters based on a database with physical soil properties using available point-scale (pedo)transfer functions (PTFs) from literature with upscaling rules to ensure flux matching across scales.

setup_riverwidth

This component sets the river width parameter based on a power-lay relationship with a predictor.

setup_gauges

This components sets the default gauge map based on basin outlets and additional gauge maps based on gauges_fn data.

setup_precip_forcing

Setup gridded precipitation forcing at model resolution.

setup_temp_pet_forcing

Setup gridded reference evapotranspiration forcing at model resolution.

setup_constant_pars

Setup constant parameter maps.

Warning

In wflow, the order in which the components are listed in the ini file is important: setup_rivers should be run right after setup_basemaps as it influences several other setup components (lakes, reservoirs, riverwidth, gauges); setup_riverwidth should be listed after setup_lakes and setup_reservoirs.
