Abstract

This archived model data is related to a study introducing a unique method that employs a stream-aligned mixed-polyhedral mesh to effectively and accurately represent river valleys, stream corridors, and narrow engineered channels in integrated hydrology simulations. The study finds that utilizing stream-aligned mixed-polyhedral meshes in integrated hydrology simulations achieves accuracy on par with a finely refined TIN-based mesh while markedly diminishing computational costs. This archive contains scripts and data files needed to generate the ATS model input, including mesh and ATS input files, for all mesh scenarios using the Watershed Workflow package. Additionally, this archive also provides key outputs from the model simulations that are used in the analysis and post-processing scripts to reproduce figures in the manuscript. The Watershed Workflow package is implemented in Python3. The Jupyter notebooks can be executed through multiple open-source tools, for example, Anaconda Jupyter Lab, VS Studio Code, etc. Other data files include CSV and HDF5 files, which can be read through Python scripts. The input files for the ATS model, open-source integrated hydrology, and transport model are in XML format and can be edited in any commonly used text editors.

ATS (Advanced Terrestrial Simulator) integrated hydrology and reactive transport model output in Copper Creek, Colorado

Dataset Xu, Zexuan ; Molins, Sergi ; Dwivedi, Dipankar ; ...

This dataset is generated using the ATS (Advanced Terrestrial Simulator) model at Copper Creek, Colorado, the largest catchment in the East River watershed. ATS is an integrated hydrology and reactive transport model to simulate the Concentration-Discharge (C-Q) relationship, and is used to quantify the geochemical export and understand how watersheds respond to climate disturbances. Key hydrogeochemical variables, including discharge, precipitation, evapotranspiration, and geochemical concentrations, were simulated and output at a daily frequency at the Copper Creek outlet. A group of hydrology and geochemical model variables over the spatial domain are output at a bi-monthly frequency. The model used 1-km resolutionmore »« less
Model data for Flood Frequency Analysis using Stochastic Storm Transposition and an Integrated Surface-Subsurface Hydrological Model

Dataset Perez, Gabriel ; Coon, Ethan ; Rathore, Saubhagya ; ...

This archived provides scripts and input files used for the implementation of a novel approach to conduct process-based Flood Frequency Analysis using a Stochastic Storm Transposition (SST) and an Integrated Surface-Subsurface Hydrological Model (ISSHM). As a proof-of-concept, this study uses the ISSHM, Advanced Terrestrial Simulator (Amanzi-ATS) model, and the SST model, RainyDay, to conduct flood frequency analysis by simulating the flood response to 5,000 annual synthetic storm events in a ~2000 km2 Southeast Texas watershed.The Watershed Workflow package is implemented in Python3.

A stream-aligned mixed polyhedral meshing strategy for integrated surface-subsurface hydrological models

Journal Article Rathore, Saubhagya S. ; Coon, Ethan T. ; Painter, Scott L. - Computers and Geosciences

Mesh refinement near river corridors is commonly deployed to resolve topographic details important for accurately representing riverine flow dynamics in watershed-scale spatially distributed integrated hydrology models. However, this increased accuracy comes with higher computational costs due to larger mesh and smaller time steps resulting from small mesh cells. We present a novel stream-aligned mixed-polygonal meshing approach that resolves river-corridor topography efficiently by placing long quadrilateral cells along the mapped center lines of the rivers and standard Triangulated Irregular Network (TIN) mesh in the rest of the domain. Our integrated hydrology simulations using mixed-polyhedral mesh generated from the mixed-polygonal approach closelymore »« less
