CLM AWRA model

Abstract

The dataset was derived by the Bioregional Assessment Programme from multiple source datasets. The source datasets are identified in the Lineage field in this metadata statement. The processes undertaken to produce this derived dataset are described in the History field in this metadata statement.

A single instance of the surface water model for the Clarence Moreton region, as documented in Gilfedder et al. 2016. This dataset contains a Global definition file for AWRA-L model, i.e. GlobDefinition.xml, which is the only input file for an AWRA-L model run, and the output baseflow (Qb) and streamflow (Qtot) netcdf files for each run, i.e. Qg.nc and Qtot.nc.

A technical description of the AWRA-L 4.5 model can be found at https://publications.csiro.au/rpr/download?pid=csiro:EP162100&dsid=DS1

Dataset History

The AWRA-L model version 4.5 has been used for all Bioregional Assessments surface water simulations. The application is developed with the C# language. All execution and class (dll) files can be found at \OSM-07-CDC.it.csiro.au\OSM_CBR_LW_BA_working\Disciplines\SurfaceWater\Modelling\AWRA-LG\Bin. The executable file "BACalibrationAndSimulationApp.exe" generates global definition files (GlobDefinition.xml) which define the input and output data and input time series locations. The executable file "SimulateModel.exe" runs simulations based on the global definition files and outputs required variables (Qtot, Qb, Dd) in NetCDF format. All simulation runs have implemented on local Windows 7 workstations.
