  1. Mary Lear Global Hydrology and Resampling Flow Direction Data April 22, 1999

  2. Outline • Introduction • Global Hydrology and Climate System Model • Resampling Programs • Methodology • Interesting Concepts • River Networks

  3. Global Hydrology • Tele-Connections • Interdisciplinary Studies

  4. Climate System Model National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Boulder, Colorado • Predict greenhouse gas effects • Predict El Nino - La Nina • Precipitation-Evaporation • Deforestation changes • Ocean heating/cooling system • Historical Analysis

  5. Model Output • Model output from 6 year run with 1% of land surface accounted for as surface water

  6. Ocean Model • Compliments of LANL Parallel Ocean Program

  7. Global River Network • Create manageable river network using fine resolution data • View of the world • Grid cells • Watersheds

  8. Resampling Programs • Fine Resolution Flow Direction Data - 1 km • Coarse Resolution Output - 2.814°

  9. Resampling Methods • Two Methods • Inverse Maximum • Maximum Flow Accumulation • Written in Arc Macro Language (AML)

  10. Inverse Method • Inputs • Flow Direction Grid • Scale Factor • Stream Delineation Threshold • Concept 1 ELEVATION MAXFAC

  11. Inverse Method Output Fine Resolution River Network Inverse Output, ~200 scale factor

  12. 1 2 10 12 Maximum Method • Input • Flow Direction Grid • Projected Coarse Resolution Mesh • Checking Distance 1 2 FAC1 FAC2 10 12 • Concept FAC10 Downstream FAC12

  13. Maximum Output • Export the PAT to Excel, Word • Generate Line Coverage

  14. Future Work • Examine Inverse Method Completely • Add perks to Maximum Method • Code for Continental Margin • Flowlength Column • Write Comparison

  15. Appreciations Thank you Jay Famiglietti Francisco Olivera Kwabena Asante
