Imax: Computation of the maximum capacity of the GR5H interception...

In airGR: Suite of GR Hydrological Models for Precipitation-Runoff Modelling

Computation of the maximum capacity of the GR5H interception store

Description

Function which calculates the maximal capacity of the GR5H interception store. This function compares the interception evapotranspiration from the GR5H interception store for different maximal capacity values with the interception evapotranspiration classically used in the daily GR models (e.g. GR4J). Among all the TestedValues, the value that gives the closest interception evapotranspiration flux over the whole period is kept.

Usage

Imax(InputsModel, IndPeriod_Run,
     TestedValues = seq(from = 0.1, to = 3, by = 0.1))

Arguments

InputsModel	[object of class InputsModel] see CreateInputsModel for details
IndPeriod_Run	[numeric] index of period to be used for the model run [-]
TestedValues	[numeric] vector of tested Imax values [mm]

Value

Optimal Imax value [mm].

## loading catchment data
data(L0123003)

## preparation of the InputsModel object
InputsModel <- CreateInputsModel(FUN_MOD = RunModel_GR5H, DatesR = BasinObs$DatesR,
                                 Precip = BasinObs$P, PotEvap = BasinObs$E)

## run period selection
Ind_Run <- seq(which(format(BasinObs$DatesR, format = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M")=="2006-01-01 00:00"),
               which(format(BasinObs$DatesR, format = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M")=="2006-12-31 23:00"))

## Imax computation
Imax <- Imax(InputsModel = InputsModel, IndPeriod_Run = Ind_Run,
             TestedValues = seq(from = 0, to = 3, by = 0.2))

## preparation of the RunOptions object
RunOptions <- CreateRunOptions(FUN_MOD = RunModel_GR5H, Imax = Imax,
                               InputsModel = InputsModel, IndPeriod_Run = Ind_Run)
