This release contains some breaking changes and can only be used in combination with SFINCS versions ≥ 2.1.1
The most important change is the implementation of a new subgrid methodology including wet fraction as in Van Ormondt et al. (2024, in review), which is now written as a NetCDF file! The old implementation is still available when providing the original binary file, but then all wet fractions are assumed to be 1.
Next to this, some minor additions and bugfixes are made that improve the overall functionality of the package.
Added
- improved subgrid tables that account for the wet fraction of the cell (#160)
- add source points at headwater locations with
SfincsModel.setup_river_inflow(#170) - it's now possible to provide a format/precision in
SfincsModel.write_forcing(#197) - river bed levels for burn-in can now be provided at point locations in
SfincsModel.setup_subgrid(#209)
Changed
- improved subgrid tables are saved as NetCDF (#160)
- improved weighting of adjacent cells in u/v points for determining representative Manning roughness and conveyance depth (#200)
- In
SfincsModel.setup_river_inflow, in case of a confluence within a user-defined buffer of the
model boundary, the confluence rather than both tributaries is selected as inflow point. (#202) - turned on "baro", the atmospheric pressure term in the momentum equation, in sfincs.inp by default (#208)
- the expected variable names for wind and pressure forcing have been changed to "wind10_u", "wind10_v" and "press_msl" to match hydromt-core conventions (#211)
