How to set up a Sobek-RURAL Model in FEWS

...

Output
To make sure the amount of output produced by SOBEK is no more than needed, it is important to uncheck all unnecessary output creation. If only water depth is needed in 2D then only have this option checked.

rr_boundarytable

Converts the complete contents of a PI xml file into a 1D flow lateral.dat file. The PI locationID should be used to map to the lateral IDs (any type). The parameter (and  qualifier) is not used. All series in the XML should exist as definition with a time series table in the SOBEK lateral .dat file. Vice versa is not needed, as SbkBatch only updates the definitions.

rr_boundarytable

rainfall-runoff boundary node, water level time table. Note: a dummy salt concentration of 0 mg/l will be used!

1d_flow_boundary_dat_fileConverts the complete contents of a PI xml file into a 1D flow Boundary.Dat file. The PI locationID should be used to map to the boundary IDs. The parameter (and  qualifier) is not used. All series in the XML should exist as definition with a time series table in the SOBEK boundary.dat file. Vice versa is not needed, as SbkBatch only updates the definitions.
1d_flow_control_def_fileConverts the complete contents of a PI xml file into a 1D flow control.def file. The PI locationID should be used to map to the control def IDs (of time controller type). The parameter (and  qualifier) is not used. All series in the XML should exist as definition with a time series table in the SOBEK control.def file. Vice versa is not needed, as SbkBatch only updates the definitions.
1d_flow_profile_defchanges the reference to a cross section definition in profile.dat. The sobekObjectId should refer to the record in the profile.dat, while the classFile(s) refer to the records in the profile.def. Typically used in batching runs with varying cross sections per run.
greenhouse_water_usage_file

Convert the complete contents of a PI xml file into the \sobek\fixed\3b\KasGebrData.Dat file, which is referred to in the sbkbatch.ini key [General]KasGebrDataFile=....

In delft_3b.ini [Options]NewFormatKasdata should be -1 and greenhouse node definitions should be setup to using this new format (which is not supported by the GUI). All series in the XML are converted to update existing definitions in the KasGebrData.Dat. Note that this file is not register to in the case registry ,so updating this file may affect other cases too.

Only definition with single column tables are supported. The PI locationID should be used to map to the kasgebr IDs . The parameter (and  qualifier) is not used. All series in the XML should exist as definition with a time series table in the SOBEK kasgebr file. Vice versa is not needed, as SbkBatch only updates the definitions.

rr_runoff_rnfConverts the complete contents of a PI xml file into a *.rnf file. Can only be used in case also a rainfallfile is used, so sbkbatch can write it to the same base file name as the RR module uses that.

Flow_dam and Flow_dambreak should be triggered by time series with non-missing values. The flow_dam should have timeseries where the location id is equal to the reachsegment id. The adapter creates the weir/dam at this segment. The time series values represent the height of the weir. This is automatically added to the bed level to get a correct crest level of the weir.

...

In the 'jobs' section nothing needs to be changed.
It should be:

Code Block
xml
xml

<jobs>
  <job>
    <jobName>Sobek historical run</jobName>
    <storeDir/>
    <parameter>
      <classIndex>1</classIndex>
    </parameter>
  </job>
</jobs>

...

In the 'mapStack' part the 2D maps are put together in a so called map stack. The generalAdapter will import these map stacks as a grid timeSeries.

Example:

Code Block
xml
xml

<mapStack>
    <fileName>output\dm1dmapstack.xml</fileName>
    <fileMask>dm1d????.asc</fileMask>
    <geoDatum>Rijks Driehoekstelsel</geoDatum>
    <locationId>map</locationId>
    <parameterId>InundationDepth</parameterId>
    <timeStep>unit="hour" multiplier="1"</timeStep>
    <module>2dflow</module>
    <mapStackActive>true</mapStackActive>
  </mapStack>

...

The last section in the SOBEK_Adapter.xml file is 'states'. This describes the read locations and writelocations of the model states. This is similar to other external modules.
RR states: * rrr
1D states: *.rda, *.rdf
2D states: *.fls
WQ states: *.res

Example:

Code Block
xml
xml

<states>
  <stateXmlOutputFile>States\Outputstates.xml</stateXmlOutputFile>
  <state>
    <readLocation>States\Input.rda</readLocation>
    <writeLocation>States\Output.rda</writeLocation>
  </state>
  <state>
    <readLocation>States\Input.rdf</readLocation>
    <writeLocation>States\Output.rdf</writeLocation>
  </state>
  <state>
    <readLocation>States\Input.fls</readLocation>
    <writeLocation>States\Output.fls</writeLocation>
  </state>
  <state>
    <readLocation>States\1Dlevels-in.xyz</readLocation>
    <writeLocation>States\1Dlevels-out.xyz</writeLocation>
  </state>
  <state>
    <readLocation>States\Input.rrr</readLocation>
    <writeLocation>States\Output.rrr</writeLocation>
  </state>
</states>

...

Please make sure the GA run is configured to set the missing value definition in the XML files it exports to -999.99 and not the default NaN. This should be set in general section, please see the example below. If NaN is used as missing value definition the SOBEK adapter will complain about missing value when there is 0.0 precipitation.

  <rootDir>$REGION_HOME$/Modules/Sobek/Singapore</rootDir>

The first option is the preferred one as it guarantees that all Case Management is correct. However, it requires quite a lot of configuration as all the possible workingdirectories have to be pre-configured. Instead of one, for all the ensemble members a working directory should be prepared. In the General Adapter you should link to these directories by using
<rootDir>$REGION_HOME$/Modules/Sobek/Singapore_%ENSEMBLE_MEMBER_INDEX%</rootDir>.
See also  19 Parallel running of ensemble loops and activities on one forecasting shell instance.

The second option is more advanced but faster and especially useful for small models where the CMT activities are a significant part of the simulation time. Next to that the configuration is much easier as only one temp directory has to be specified.
In the General Adapter you specify only <rootDir>%TEMP_DIR%</rootDir> where the TEMP_DIR will be defined as the system TEMP_DIR (or defined in the global.properties) and an added unique subdirectory. In case your system TEMP_DIR variable is "c:\windows\Temp" the General Adapter will use as TEMP_DIR in each particular instance of the General Adapter (i.e. per ensemble member) TEMP_DIR = "C:\windows\temp\<FSS><ModuleInstance><ENSEMBLE_MEMBER_INDEX>_<threadId>."
In this configuration it is quite useful to have no CMT activities anymore. Therefore define in the SBKBATCH.INI the key [General]RunFromTempDirWithoutCMT=-1. Then you need to configure:

  • a CMTWORK and WORK directory where all the files are available already
  • FNM files in the CMTWORK that has only relative paths or links to files that are not specific to the actual run (like language files)
  • use as [General]SimulateCall and [General]SimulateCallRtnFile directly the required program or a batch file that runs multiple programs. For example if you need to run only the RR module, you define:

    Code Block
    [General}
    SimulateCall=\Sobek212\Programs\3b\sobek_3b.exe sobek_3b.fnm sobek_3b.rtn
    SimulateCallRtnFile=sobek_3b.rtn
  • save the whole setup in a moduleDataSet that will be exported before starting the simulation

...

This may happen if sbkbatch cannot write it's diagnostics file. Check if the directory is present and if it is readable by the adapter. The location of the diagnostics file is set in the general section of the xml configuration file:

Code Block

xml

<fewsDiagnosticsFile>Logs\Diagnostics.xml</fewsDiagnosticsFile>
