This is the new (2009) verison of TopoFlow, still in active develop. Included here are some notes I'm working on (Bob Busey) as I get up to speed on the latest version of the model.
So, several configuration elements. The highlights is to start you need a python with these packages installed:
Numpy
MatPlotLib
SciPy
WxPython
Contents
Program Components
At present there is quite a collection of subroutines and such:
CSDMS_base.py diversions_base.py rtg_file.py CSDMS_component.py energy_balance.py rti_file.py ET_base.py gc2d_funcs.py rts_file.py ET_energy_balance.py get_values_BITS.py save_load.py ET_priestley_taylor.py ice_base.py snow_base.py GW_base.py idl_func.py snow_degree_day.py GW_darcy_layers.py infil_base.py snow_energy_balance.py basins.py infil_beven.py soil_base.py bob_start.py infil_green_ampt.py soil_funcs.py channels_base.py infil_richards_1D.py tf_input.py channels_diffusive_wave.py infil_smith_parlange.py tf_output.py channels_dynamic_wave.py met_base.py tf_utils.py channels_kinematic_wave.py pixels2.py topoflow.py d8_base.py precip_base.py topoflow_Impl.py d8_flow_funcs.py radiation_funcs.py diversions.py rt3_file.py
I'll fill this in as I have time but breaking down that file list into a bit more categories:
- bob_start.py == Topoflow the package needs to be called from someplace else you can't just run it: python topoflow.py.
So, that's the purpose of bob_start.py.
- topoflow.py -- main engine, I think it is a child of the CSDMS_base.
- tf_utils.py -- more configuration things happen in here including hard coding of directories, case, and data prefixes
- ET_base.py -- main ET object
- ET_energy_balance -- a child of ET_base, has it's own methods and properties (solving ET using EB method)
- ET_priestley_taylor -- another child of ET_base, has its' own methods and properties (solving ET using PT method)
- GW_base.py
- GW_darcy_layers.py
- channels_base.py
- channels_diffusive_wave.py
- channels_dynamic_wave.py
- channels_kinematic_wave.py
- d8_base.py
- d8_flow_funcs.py
- diversions_base.py
- diversions.py
etc. etc. More surely to come as I get more deeply into the model.
Quick Start
To start, run bob_start.py
In those files you'll need to make a few edits. Specifically, tf_utils.py has a function TF_Test_Directory(). In that function you'll see the working directory returned. Change the line appropriate for your OS to where the input files are located and where the output files should go.
def TF_Test_Data_Prefix(): def TF_Test_Directory(): def TF_Test_Case_Prefix():
A bit about Config Files
So, that's it for functions in tf_utils.py. In the working directory there are a series of *.cfg files. Treat them as you would the old menu system from the previous version of TopoFlow. Up to and including the integer based options. So, when setting things up you may find it useful to run the old IDL based TopoFlow to see what method is first, second, third etc. Here is some example configuration, from *_met.cfg:
-------------------------------------------------- Meteorological Variables -------------------------------------------------- Method code: 1 Method name: Mostly_Dingman Time step: Scalar 3600.00000000 [sec] rho_H2O: Scalar 1000.00000000 [kg/m^3] Cp_air: Scalar 1005.70001221 [J/kg/K] rho_air: Scalar 1.26139998 [kg/m^3] T_air: Scalar 20.00000000 [deg C] T_surf: Scalar -5.00000000 [deg C] RH: Scalar 0.50000000 [none] p0: Scalar 1000.00000000 [mbar] uz: Scalar 3.00000000 [m/s] z: Scalar 10.00000000 [m] z0_air: Scalar 0.02000000 [m] Qn_SW: Scalar 100.00000000 [W/m^2] Qn_LW: Scalar 10.00000000 [W/m^2] Save grid timestep: Scalar 60.00000000 [sec] Save ea grids: 0 Case5_2D-ea.rts [mbar] Save es grids: 0 Case5_2D-es.rts [mbar] Save pixels timestep: Scalar 60.00000000 [sec] Save ea pixels: 0 Case5_0D-ea.txt [mbar] Save es pixels: 0 Case5_0D-es.txt [mbar]
Nomenclature for units, time series etc. is the same as with the old IDL. Oh, also, Method Name doesn't do anything at present. You should know that Method Code 1 is the Mostly Dingman method name but if you put in a 2 for method code but don't change the name the program will be running method 2 rather than Mostly Dingman which is method 1...
I also imagine the units are rigid but haven't investigated for certain.
Options (from TopoFlow 1.5): Precipitation
0 = none 1 = Uniform in space, given durations 2 = General data types
Snowmelt
0 = none 1 = Degree-Day Inputs: c0 T0 T_air rho_snow h0_snow h0_swe timestep 2 = Energy Balance Inputs: Qnet_SW Qnet_LW T_air T_surf RH p0 uz z z0_air h0_snow h0_swe rho_snow Cp_snow rho_air Cp_air Qcc_snow timestep
Evapotranspiration
0 = none 1 = Priestley-Taylor Inputs: Qn_SW Qn_LW T_air T_surf T_soil_x x K_soil alpha timestep 2 = Energy Balance Inputs: Qn_SW Qn_LW T_air T_surf T_soil_x x K_soil uz z z0_air h0_snow rho_air Cp_air timestep
Infiltration
0 = none 1 = 100% infiltration until (h = z) 2 = Simple Green-Ampt, single event 3 = Smith-Parlange 3-param, single event 4 = Richards 1D equation, 3 soil layers
Subsurface Flow
0 = none 1 = Darcy's Law, Surface parallel layers 2 = Darcy's Law, 2D Freeze-Thaw
Channel Flow:
0 = none 1 = Kinematic Wave, Manning Friction 2 = Kinematic Wave, Law of Wall Friction 3 = Diffusive Wave, Manning Friction 4 = Diffusive Wave, Law of Wall Friction 5 = Dynamic Wave, Manning Friction 6 = Dynamic Wave, Law of Wall Friction
Diversions:
0 = none 1 = Sources, Sinks or Canals
More Start up Commentary
In summary, to run topoflow (9/30/2009 edition)
- Edit tf_utils.py and specify: The working directory, the data prefix, and the case prefix
- Make sure that your configuration files (*.cfg) are set correctly. Method 0 = don't use the module, Method = 1 to n = use a method corresponding to that integer value and then the required parameters are listed below in the rest of the .cfg file.
- Once all the configuration stuff is good to go you can run the program from the command line:
$python bob_start.py
- The program will hopefully run to completion.
- Required modules are:
basins met_base channels_kinematic_wave infil_green_ampt GW_darcy_layers diversions_base ice_base
At least one of:
snow_degree_day & snow_energy_balance ET_priestley_taylor & ET_energy_balance
Some weird bits:
Some additional tips:
- Be sure you don't have a mix of data prefix names in your configuration files
- It's possible to specify directories in the configuration files such as
T_air: Time_series ./2007/AT.dat [deg C]
- more to come once I use my own data, I'm sure...
- Unit_Test1() -->
- In topoflow.py -->
- read in directory, data prefix, case prefix -->
- create a topoflow instance -->
- set the 'CCA' state -->
- run the model and pass the directory, data prefix, and case prefix information.
- The components to run are set in topoflow.py in this bit of code:
def embed_child_components(self): #------------------------------------------------ # Note: Don't call this if (self.CCA == True). #------------------------------------------------ # Instantiate and embed "process components" # in the place of the CCA ports. #------------------------------------------------ # But how do we choose a given process method # such as "kinematic wave" ?? #------------------------------------------------ import basins import met_base import channels_kinematic_wave import snow_degree_day import snow_energy_balance import ET_priestley_taylor import ET_energy_balance import infil_green_ampt import GW_darcy_layers import diversions_base import ice_base self.bp = basins.basins_component() self.mp = met_base.met_component() self.cp = channels_kinematic_wave.channels_component() self.sp = snow_degree_day.snow_component() self.sp = snow_energy_balance.snow_component() self.ep = ET_priestley_taylor.ET_component() self.ep = ET_energy_balance.ET_component() self.ip = infil_green_ampt.infil_component() self.gp = GW_darcy_layers.GW_component() self.dp = diversions_base.diversions_component() self.iip = ice_base.ice_component() ######### # embed_child_components() #-------------------------------------------------------------------
So, turn routines off and on by commenting out both the import step and the self.xx line.
Soon (stuff bob busey will do as a side project):
- pass an additional config file on the command line similiar to the .ini that I've been using for a while.
- instead of bob_start.py make a bob_busey_start.py... pass the command line file here to Unit_Test(input_file as string) read it in and then pass this information to the a new sub in the topoflow.py file that is pretty darn similar to def Unit_Test1(): and start running the model from there... due to embedded directory checking this may be more difficult than it seems perhaps to the point of pointless-ness. It looks like the program has been designed to allow this at some point but it may be tricky.
