SILOWriteFunctionsforSource: Function to bulk create functions for SILO data in Source.

Description

Function to bulk create functions for SILO data in Source.

Usage

SILOWriteFunctionsforSource(
  X,
  boundary,
  shpColumn,
  functionsfile,
  RRfile,
  RainfallDatasourcesFolder,
  PETDatasourcesFolder,
  RainfallDatafile,
  PETDatafile,
  fus
)

Value

Nothing to the R environment. Files functionsfile and RRfile are created.

Arguments

X

List of SILO station data, loaded into R using SILOLoad.

boundary

path to a subcatchment shapefile containing the subcatchments in the Source catchment model

shpColumn

column in the shapefile attribute table that corresponds to the catchment numbering.

functionsfile

filename to create with functions to import into Source

RRfile

filename to create to be imported into the Source Rainfall Runoff feature table

RainfallDatasourcesFolder

Name to use when creating a folder in the Source function editor for the rainfall functions and time series variables

PETDatasourcesFolder

Name to use when creating a folder in the Source function editor for the PET functions and time series variables

RainfallDatafile

Filename of data source loaded in Source for rainfall, in formatting used by Source (e.g. for a file called Rain.csv from a relative folder called TimeseriesData is TimeSeriesData_Rain_csv).

PETDatafile

Filename of data source loaded in Source for PET, in formatting used by Source

fus

character vector of function unit names in the model.

It is assumed that the Source rainfall-runoff scenario was created using the Geographic wizard, using the 'draw network' method (as opposed to DEM based) This allows a raster to be loaded into Source, with an integer in each cell representing the different subcatchments. boundary should be the path to a polygon shapefile with these catchment boundaries, and an attribute column that represent the catchment numbers. Typically this shapefile will be used to generate the raster that Source requires.

This function will create two files:

• functionsfile one to be imported into Source using the Function Import/Export plugin. The functions in the file that will be imported are a time series function for each SILO site in X and a function weighting these SILO sites using Thiessen polygon areas for each subcatchment in boundary

• RRFile This file points each subcatchment and functional unit to the relevant function created for rainfall and PET, to be Imported in the Rainfall Runoff feature table (Edit-Rainfall Runoff Models and Import button)
