How to divide the subcatchment?

[zhangy...@gmail.com]

Hello all, I tried to understand the "routing_sub.py", but I failed. Does anyone tell me how to divide the sub-catchments? What variables should I put into the model? Thanks!

Dear zhangyu,

thanks for diving in so deep into the code.

The subcatchment procedure in routing_sub.py is a subprocedure of routing_kinematic.py to find out if a grid cell is a sub-catchment of another grid-cell.

The catchment and the sub-catchment procedures are used:

- to specify the catchment you want to model e.g. if you put a coordinate into MaskMap, the model calculates the catchment which belongs to that point

- to check the lake and reservoir map and dismiss cells in a lake/reservoir which has the same ID as the outlet point of a lake/res but are not in the same catchment.

Maybe you can explain what you want to do? What is your original problem?

Cheers,

Peter
