Greetings,
The WRF-Hydro Development team is pleased to announce the public release of WRF-Hydro version 5.1.1. This minor release has the following enhancements:
Lakes in the NCAR reach configuration:
When running the NCAR Reach configuration, Lakes will now work as expected (similarly to the NWM configuration).
Compound channel:
In order to represent a simplification of the behavior of a flood wave when it exceeds the channel bank, a compound channel formulation was added to the NWM code.
The compound channel formulation is currently only functional in the NWM configuration.
RSURF_EXP parameter exposed in MPTABLE.TBL:
The previously hard coded soil shape function exponent parameter in Noah-MP was added to the MPTABLE.TBL parameter table as RSURF_EXP and spatial soil parameter file as rsurfexp.
- BATS albedo parameters were exposed in MPTABLE.TBL. The maximum snow water equivalent was changed to 5000mm
- Broader usage of the netCDF4/HDF5 format
- Additional direct and diffuse snow albedo variables were added
For a full description see the Release Notes. You can find the model code and all preprocessing tools and supporting documentation from our website
