Release Notes

mHM v5.13.0 (May 2023)

Enhancements

• added simple namelists in each test-domain folder for single domain run (!144)
  • can be run by mhm ./test_domain
• Python bindings and wheel distribution for mHM (!138)
• updated FORCES to v0.5 (!141, !157)
• added silent mode (--quiet / -q) (!141)
• Output: unification, selectable time reference point and bounds for all coordinates (!139)
  • added option output_time_reference[_mrm] to m[h|r]m_outputs.nml where users can now select the reference time stamp for the current time interval:

    location of reference time point in outputs:
    0: start of the time interval (i.e. 1990-01-01 00:00 for daily output on 1990-01-01)
    1: center of the time interval (i.e. 1990-01-01 12:00 for daily output on 1990-01-01)
    2: end of the time interval (i.e. 1990-01-02 00:00 for daily output on 1990-01-01)
    

    • This will be 0 by default. Before it was always the end of the time interval -1h (that is why we always had 23h as timestamp)
    • When using the start of the time interval we actually match the time-stamps of the gauge time-series (that was shifted in discharge.nc)
    • When using center of time interval output unit may change to minutes (to get center of an hour)
  • added time_bnds to all netcdf outputs to explicitly describe the time-span for the given time-stamp (following cf-conventions)
  • addad axis attribute to all coordinates in all netcdf outputs (following cf-conventions)
  • added bounds for all spatial coordinate axes (either easting/northing or lon/lat)
  • unified output handling in mo_nc_output
  • use new output handler for groundwater coupling
• test-domain download helper command added with python-bindings mhm-download (!149)
• added a dependency install script CI-scripts/install-deps (!152)
• added demonstration script to optimize mHM with Spotpy (!145)

Changes

• all errors are now printed to std-err and raise exit code 1 (!141)
• changed command line option short name for version from -v to -V (-v reserved for verbosity) (!141)

Bugfixes

• fixed indexing in groundwater coupling calculations (!139)
• fixed reading restart without original input files (!154, !156)
• output: fixed single precision output writing (!159)
• several internal cleanups
