Functions to perform one-day simulations on a watershed described by a set of connected grid cells.

  • Function spwb_land_day implements a distributed hydrological model that simulates daily local water balance, from spwb_day, on grid cells of a watershed while accounting for overland runoff, subsurface flow and groundwater flow between cells.

  • Function growth_land_day is similar to spwb_land_day, but includes daily local carbon balance, growth and mortality processes in grid cells, provided by growth_day.

spwb_land_day(
  r,
  sf,
  SpParams,
  meteo = NULL,
  date = NULL,
  local_control = medfate::defaultControl(),
  watershed_control = default_watershed_control(),
  parallelize = FALSE,
  num_cores = detectCores() - 1,
  chunk_size = NULL,
  progress = TRUE
)

growth_land_day(
  r,
  sf,
  SpParams,
  meteo = NULL,
  date = NULL,
  local_control = medfate::defaultControl(),
  watershed_control = default_watershed_control(),
  parallelize = FALSE,
  num_cores = detectCores() - 1,
  chunk_size = NULL,
  progress = TRUE
)

Arguments

r

An object of class rast, defining the raster topology.

sf

An object of class sf as described in spwb_land.

SpParams

A data frame with species parameters (see SpParamsMED).

meteo

Input meteorological data (see spwb_spatial and details).

date

A string with the date to be simulated.

local_control

A list of control parameters (see defaultControl) for function spwb_day or growth_day.

watershed_control

A list of watershed control parameters (see default_watershed_control). Importantly, the sub-model used for lateral water flows - either Francés et al. (2007) or Caviedes-Voullième et al. (2023) - is specified there.

parallelize

Boolean flag to try parallelization (see details).

num_cores

Integer with the number of cores to be used for parallel computation (by default it will use all clusters minus one).

chunk_size

Integer indicating the size of chunks to be sent to different processes (by default, the number of spatial elements divided by the number of cores).

progress

Boolean flag to display progress information for simulations.

Value

Functions spwb_land_day and spwb_land_day return a sf object:

  • geometry: Spatial geometry.

  • state: A list of model input objects for each simulated stand.

  • aquifer: A numeric vector with the water volume in the aquifer of each cell.

  • snowpack: A numeric vector with the snowpack water equivalent volume of each cell.

  • result: A list of cell detailed results (only for those indicated in the input), with contents depending on the local model.

  • outlet: A logical vector indicating outlet cells.

  • MinTemperature: Minimum temperature (degrees Celsius).

  • MaxTemperature: Maximum temperature (degrees Celsius).

  • PET: Potential evapotranspiration (in mm).

  • Rain: Rainfall (in mm).

  • Snow: Snowfall (in mm).

  • InfiltrationExcess: The amount of water exceeding the soil infiltration capacity (in mm).

  • SaturationExcess: The amount of water that reaches the soil surface because of soil saturation (in mm).

  • Runoff: The amount of water exported via surface runoff (in mm).

  • DeepDrainage: The amount of water draining from soil to the aquifer via deep drainage (in mm).

  • CapillarityRise: Water entering the soil via capillarity rise (mm) from the water table.

  • SoilEvaporation: Bare soil evaporation (in mm).

  • Transpiration: Woody plant transpiration (in mm).

  • HerbTranspiration: Herbaceous transpiration (in mm).

  • InterflowInput: The amount of water that reaches the soil of the cell from adjacent cells via subsurface flow (in mm).

  • InterflowBalance: The balance of water circulating via subsurface flow (in mm).

  • BaseflowInput: The amount of water that reaches the aquifer of the cell from adjacent cells via groundwater flow (in mm).

  • BaseflowOutput: The amount of water that leaves the aquifer of the cell towards adjacent cells via groundwater flow (in mm).

  • BaseflowBalance: The balance of water circulating via groundwater flow (in mm).

  • AquiferExfiltration: The amount of water of the cell that generates surface runoff due to the aquifer reaching the soil surface (in mm).
