GR4J rainfall runoff model

Description

GR4J model (mode'le du Ge“nie Rural a' 4 parame'tres Journalier).

Usage

gr4j.sim(DATA, x1, etmult = 1, S_0 = 0.5,
  return_state = FALSE,transformed=FALSE)

gr4jrouting.sim(U, x2, x3, x4, R_0 = 0, split = 0.9,
                return_components = FALSE,
                epsilon = hydromad.getOption("sim.epsilon"),
		transformed=FALSE)

Arguments

DATA

time-series-like object with columns P (precipitation, mm) and E (potential evapo-transpiration, mm).

U

effective rainfall series.

x1

maximum capacity of the production store (mm).

x2

groundwater exchange coefficient (mm).

x3

one day ahead maximum capacity of the routing store (mm).

x4

time base of unit hydrograph UH1 (time steps).

etmult

Multiplier for the E input data.

S_0

Initial soil moisture level as fraction of x1.

R_0

Initial groundwater reservoir level as fraction of x3.

split

Fraction to go into quick flow routing, usually fixed at 0.9.

return_state

to return the series U, S (storage) and ET (evapotranspiration).

return_components

to return the series Xr, Xd and R (reservoir level).

epsilon

values smaller than this in the output will be set to zero.

transformed

transform parameters before use to improve identifiability. They can be untransformed using gr4j.transformpar

Details

The default parameter ranges were taken from the "80 intervals" given in Perrin et. al. (2003).

Value

the simulated effective rainfall, a time series of the same length as the input series.
