River parameters

Full list of river parameters, both physical and topological ones, can be output in netCDF as river network augmentation mode. Those augmented variables can be read in from augmented network netCDF and variable names need to be specified in control file

To read additional augmented network parameters, <hydGeometryOption> and <topoNetworkOption> needs to be turned on (specified as 0) in control file

Names of the river network variables (both network topology and physical parameters) can be also speficied in control file, if they are different than their default names. The format is

<varname_PARAMETER_DEFAULT_NAME> NEW_NAME !

Dimensions

Dimension Description
seg river reach
hru river network catchment or hru (hydrologic response unit)
upSeg immediate upstream reaches
upHRU HRUs contributing to a reach
upAll all the upstream reaches

physical parameters

Variable Dimension Unit Type Description
width seg - real channel width
man_n seg - real mannings n
hruArea upHRU m2 real area of each contributing HRU
weight upHRU - real weight assigned to each HRU
basArea seg m2 real total area of contributing HRUs
upsArea seg m2 real area above the top of the reach. 0 if headwater
totalArea seg m2 real area above the bottom of the reach (bas + ups)
timeDelayHist uh sec real time delay histogram for each reach (only UH routing)

Topology parameters

Extra or augmented river reach and hru topology are typically computed internally. It is recommended to compute instead of generating outside mizuRoute
