  • Each netcdf file should contain only one variable with grid data. A netcdf file with multiple variables with grid data results in an error. The extension of the created file depends on the name of the variable in the netcdf file as follows:

    netcdf variable nameextension
    x_wind.amu
    y_wind.amv
    air_pressure.amp
    precipitationnot supported by DFlowFM (for rainfall DFlowFM can use the netcdf file directly)
    any other namenot supported by DFlowFM

    For example the original file input/x_wind.nc is converted to input/x_wind.amu

  • The format (meteo_on_equidistant_grid/meteo_on_curvilinear_grid) of each of the created files depends on whether there is an auxiliary grid file present for that file. To use an auxiliary grid file for a given netcdf file, it must have the same path and name as the netcdf file, but a different extension (.grd). If an auxiliary grid file is present, then the netcdf file will be converted to a curvi file of type meteo_on_curvilinear_grid that refers to the auxiliary grid file. Otherwise it will be converted to an arcinfo file of type meteo_on_equidistant_grid. For rectangular and curvilinear grids there must always be an auxiliary grid file present, otherwise an error is given. For regular grids no auxiliary grid file is needed.

    curvilinearyescurvi file of type meteo_on_curvilinear_grid
  • The order of the grid cell values in the arcinfo/curvi grid file created by this adapter depend on the type of grid (regular/rectangular/curvilinear). For regular grids (arcinfo meteo_on_equidistant_grid file format or curvi meteo_on_curvilinear_grid file format) the grid cells are always ordered per row from left to right, starting with the upper row of the grid. For rectangular grids (curvi meteo_on_curvilinear_grid file format) the grid cells are always ordered per row from left to right, starting with the upper row of the grid. For curvilinear grids (curvi meteo_on_curvilinear_grid file format) the grid cells are always in the same order as in the netcdf file, which depends in turn on the order of the grid cells in the corresponding grid definition in Delft-FEWS (if the file was exported from Delft-FEWS). If an auxiliary grid (.grd) file is used, then the grid cell coordinates in the .grd file must be in the same order as the grid cell values in the corresponding curvi file. The easiest way to accomplish this is to run the adapter once, then check the order of the grid cell values in the created curvi file(s), then manually make sure that the grid cell coordinates in the corresponding .grd file(s) are in the right order.

  • The coordinate system for the coordinates in an arcinfo meteo_on_equidistant_grid file created by this adapter depends on the coordinate system used in the netcdf file, which depends in turn on the coordinate system (geodatum) in the corresponding grid definition in Delft-FEWS (if the file was exported from Delft-FEWS). Need to manually make sure that this is the same coordinate system as the coordinate system used by the model.

System requirements

  • This program needs Java version 8 or higher.
  • This program needs the following Java libraries:
    • commons-httpclient-3.0.1.jar
    • Delft_Util.jar (revision 60330)
    • grib-8.0.jar
    • log4j-1.2.14.jar
    • netcdf-4.2.jar
    • slf4j-api-1.5.6.jar
    • slf4j-log4j12-1.5.6.jar
    • TimeSeriesImport.jar (revision 60330)

...

Please note that for running DFlow-FM from Delft-FEWS only a pre-adapter is needed (a post-adapter is not needed).
