LSM_RWU

Root water uptake model files (Knighton et al., 2020)

DOI

General Instructions

  • NetCDF files from Chen et al (2008) and Livneh et al (2013) must be downloaded locally.
  • Use Preprocess_ForcingData_Sites.m to extract a time series of daily minimum and maximum air temperatures and daily precipitation from Chen et al (2008) (i.e. CPC) and Livneh et al (2013) precipitation datasets. A time series will be generated for each catchment listed in HCDN_Sites.csv.
  • Lumped_VSA_model_Mod.R calls the modified version of JoFlo (discussed below).
  • Use function DDS_Wrapper_LSM_GW.R to execute the Dynamically Dimensioned Search (DDS) routine to calibrate the modified JoFlo model to a USGS gage. Arguments required are the USGS gage ID number and the number of calibration iterations.
  • Use Cluster_DDS_Wrapper.R to call DDS_Wrapper_LSM_GW.R from catchments listed in HCDN_Sites.csv
  • Cluster_DDS_Wrapper.R is called twice to calibrate Lumped_VSA_model_Mod.R to both Chen et al (2008) and Livneh et al (2013)

Lumped_VSA_model_Mod.R

  • Modified from Archibald et al. (2014) available in Fuka et al (2014)
  • includes exponential term for gravity driven baseflow: A1*S^B1
  • includes five vertically stacked soil layers
  • includes Root Water Uptake (RWU) depth-demand function
