SUEWS - 2020a Release

Improvement

• A ponding water scheme is added in the automatic irrigation calculation; useful when a certain depth of ponding water to maintain in irrigation (e.g., flooding irrigation in rice crop-field).
• Irrigation fraction can be specified for all surfaces (previously only available for vegetated surfaces)
• A U-shape approach for calculating HDD/CDD is introduced to account for a wide comfort zone between heating and cooling critical temperatures.

Changes

• A new RoughLenHeatMethod option 5: adaptively choose option 1 for fully pervious surface or 2 otherwise (if any impervious surface exists).
• A new column H_maintain is added in SUEWS_Irrigation.txt to set ponding water depth.
• New columns to specify irrigation fractions for non-vegetated surfaces in SUEWS_SiteSelect.txt.
• A new scheme option BaseTMethod in RunControl.nml to set calculation scheme for HDD/CDD.

Fix

NONE.

Known issues

Wind direction is not currently downscaled so non -999 values will cause an error.
