The model represents each grid cell by a node in the channel network. Unit hydrographs are developed that described the time distribution of flow from each source grid cell to a corresponding sink grid cell. The development of the unit hydrographs is done as a pre process step (i.e. `make_parameters.py`). The final step is the convolution of the unit hydrographs with fluxes from a land surface model, typically VIC (i.e. `rvic_model.py`). ### Usage -Examples of all configuration files can be found in RVIC/config/ directory - -#### Make domain file from arcinfo fraction file - -`./fraction2domain.bash fraction_file.asc` - -#### Make rvic parameter file from existing uhs files -*** note that only C program format files are currently supported - -`./uhs2paramfile.py config_file.cfg` - -#### Make rvic parameter file from pour points - -`./make_parameters.py config_file.cfg -np $N_PROCESSORS` - -where `$N_PROCESSORS` is the number of processors to be used. This uses the Python [multiprocessing](http://docs.python.org/2/library/multiprocessing.html) module. - -#### Run the rvic model convolution -`./rvic_model.py config_file.cfg` +See the RVIC Wiki Page](https://github.com/jhamman/RVIC/wiki/RVIC-Wiki) ### Development History 1. Based on the initial model of Lohmann, et al., 1996, Tellus, 48(A), 708-721 2. Currently being coupled as a componenet model in the Comunity Earth System Model (RASM) as part of the Regional Arctic System Model Project. ### Upcoming Development -1. Write core convolution routine in C for speed. -2. History file restarts to further support short model runs. -3. Possible distributed application to support full grid routing (rather than source to sink only). -4. Plans to couple directly to VIC. +1.
