MotivationCurrently, most global climate models (GCM’s) ...
– … do not have the capability of routing runoff from
the land to the ocean.
– … assume runoff arrives at the ocean instantaneously,
as if flow velocities were infinite (NCAR fully-coupled
land-ocean-atmosphere model - NCAR CSM).
Is flow routing at a global scale worth it?

Goals
• Determine whether runoff routing has a significant impact on coastline flows by comparing routed vs. unrouted runoff hydrographs.
• Explore a new method for runoff routing that …– ... exploits the availability of high resolution
global DTM’s.– … could be incorporated in a global climate
model (GCM) like NCAR’s CSM.

Source-to-Sink Routing Model
• Defines sources (or runoff producing units) where runoff enters the surface water system, and sinks (or runoff receiving units) where runoff leaves the surface water system.
• Calculates hydrographs at the sinks by adding the contribution of all sources in the drainage area.
• A response function is used to represent the motion of water from the sources to the sinks.
![Page 7: GIS Applications in Regional and Global Hydrology Jay Famiglietti 1,2, Stephen Graham 1, Corinna Prietzsch 1, Karen Mohr 1 David Maidment 2, Francisco](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051619/56649e7d5503460f94b7f3cf/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Sinks
• A 3°x3° mesh is used to subdivide the whole globe into “square” boxes.
• A total of 132 sinks were identified for the African continent (including inland catchments like theLake Chad Basin).
![Page 8: GIS Applications in Regional and Global Hydrology Jay Famiglietti 1,2, Stephen Graham 1, Corinna Prietzsch 1, Karen Mohr 1 David Maidment 2, Francisco](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051619/56649e7d5503460f94b7f3cf/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Drainage Area of the Sinks
• The drainage area of each sink is delineated using raster-based GIS functions applied to GTOPO30.
• GTOPO30 (EROS Data Center of the USGS, Sioux Falls, ND) is digital elevation data with an approximate resolution of 1 Km x 1 Km.
![Page 9: GIS Applications in Regional and Global Hydrology Jay Famiglietti 1,2, Stephen Graham 1, Corinna Prietzsch 1, Karen Mohr 1 David Maidment 2, Francisco](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051619/56649e7d5503460f94b7f3cf/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Land Boxes• A 0.5°x0.5° mesh is used
to subdivide each drainage area into land boxes.
• 0.5° land boxes allow the modeler to capture the geomorphology of the hydrologic system.
• For the Congo River basin, 1379 land boxes were identified.
![Page 10: GIS Applications in Regional and Global Hydrology Jay Famiglietti 1,2, Stephen Graham 1, Corinna Prietzsch 1, Karen Mohr 1 David Maidment 2, Francisco](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051619/56649e7d5503460f94b7f3cf/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Runoff Boxes (T42 Data)
• Runoff data has been calculated using NCAR’s CCM3.2 GCM over a 2.8125° x 2.8125° mesh (T42).
• For the Congo River basin, 69 runoff boxes were identified.
![Page 11: GIS Applications in Regional and Global Hydrology Jay Famiglietti 1,2, Stephen Graham 1, Corinna Prietzsch 1, Karen Mohr 1 David Maidment 2, Francisco](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051619/56649e7d5503460f94b7f3cf/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Sources
• Sources are obtained by intersecting:
– drainage area of the sinks
– land boxes
– runoff boxes
• Number of sources:
– Congo River basin: 1954
– African continent: 19170
![Page 12: GIS Applications in Regional and Global Hydrology Jay Famiglietti 1,2, Stephen Graham 1, Corinna Prietzsch 1, Karen Mohr 1 David Maidment 2, Francisco](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051619/56649e7d5503460f94b7f3cf/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Flow Length to the Sinks
• Flow-length is calculated for each GTOPO30 cell by using raster-based GIS functions, and then averaging the resulting values over the source area.
• The flow time from a source to a sink is calculated by dividing the flow length by the (uniformly distributed) flow velocity.

Routing Algorithm
For source j: tj = Lj/v
For sink i: Qi = Aj Rj(t)*uj(t) exp(-k tj)
where:tj = flow timeLj = flow lengthv = flow velocityQi = flowAj = areaRj(t) = runoff time seriesuj(t) = response functionk = loss coefficient

Conclusions (1)• A DTM-based methodology for global-scale flow routing
has been developed. The methodology is independent of the geographic location and spatial resolution of the data.
• The need for accounting for flow delay in the landscape, especially in large watersheds, became obvious after comparing routed vs. unrouted hydrographs.
• Because the spatial distribution of the model parameters (e.g., flow velocity, v, and losses coefficient, k) is unknown, uniformly distributed values were assumed.

Conclusions (2)
• The model takes advantage of “high” resolution terrain data and is able to produce results consistent with “low” resolution global data used for climate models.
• The model produces similar results when compared to cell-to-cell routing models, but has the advantage of being independent of the terrain discretization.

The CIA World Data Bank II [Gorny and Carter, 1987]
![Page 25: GIS Applications in Regional and Global Hydrology Jay Famiglietti 1,2, Stephen Graham 1, Corinna Prietzsch 1, Karen Mohr 1 David Maidment 2, Francisco](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051619/56649e7d5503460f94b7f3cf/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Data and Analysis Methods
1) Determination of a land/sea mask
2) Geolocation or ‘burning in’ of rivers
3) Filling of artificial depressions
4) Calculation of flow directions
5) Calculation of flow accumulations
6) Selection and delineation of rivers
7) Selection and delineation of watersheds
8) Lake Delineation

2) Geolocation or ‘burning in’ of rivers
Digitized rivers from the CIA World Data Bank II are extracted and gridded.
The elevations of grid cells that correspond to the gridded rivers are decreased by an appropriate amount, thereforegiving an added incentive for water to follow the digitized paths.
This process improves the location of rivers in flat areas,as well as mountainous areas where narrow canyons may be averaged out in the DEM.
![Page 29: GIS Applications in Regional and Global Hydrology Jay Famiglietti 1,2, Stephen Graham 1, Corinna Prietzsch 1, Karen Mohr 1 David Maidment 2, Francisco](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051619/56649e7d5503460f94b7f3cf/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
3) Filling of artificial depressions
Grid: FILL elev_grid fill_grid SINK
Artificial and natural depression are both present in DEMs.In order for river channels to flow to their mouth at a water body, the course of the river must follow a monotonicallydecreasing path, as is defined by the flow direction grid.Consequently, sinks must be eliminated except at terminal points for water accumulation, such as inland seas.Certain sinks may also be selected to remain sinks, either manually or by using automated procedures which take into consideration such things as the depth and area of the sink.

The elevations are averaged over 1/2- and 1-degree boxesto obtain the coarser resolution 1/2- and 1-degree DEMs from the original 5-minute data.
The same processes from above are then carried out at each new resolution.
