Detailed River Time Series output

River hydraulic output is generally analysed using the MIKE View program, or directly in MIKE Hydro River. However, the default River output is only at specified time intervals. Every item in the Detailed MIKE Hydro River Time Series table is output at every MIKE Hydro River time step. However, there is a user specified minimum output time to prevent excessive output if the time step is very small.

Like the Detailed Time Series Output (above), each item in this table is output automatically to an HTML graph in the Run Tab. You can also specify an observation file for each item, which is more convenient than using MIKE VIEW.

Importing ASCII data

Detailed River Time Series specifications can be imported directly into the dialogue using the Import button. The data file must be a tab- delimited ASCII file without a header line. The file must contain the following seven fields:

Name - is the user specified name of the observation point. This is the name that will be used for the time series item in the Dfs0 file created during the simulation.

data typeCode - This is a numeric code used to identify the output data type (1=water level, 2=discharge).

Branch_name - The name of the River Branch (check your spelling!)

Chainage - The location of the MIKE 11 h-point or q-point. The nearest one will be taken within a tolerance. If the nearest one is not close by, a warning will be printed to the log file.

UseObsData - This is a flag to specify whether or not an observation file needs to be input: 0 = No; 1 = Yes

dfs0FileName - This is the file name of the dfs0 time series file with observa­tion data. The path to the dfs0 file must be relative to the directory con­taining the MIKE SHE *.she document. The .dfs0 extension is added to the file name automatically and should be not be included in the file name. For example, the following input line

.\Time\Calibration\GroundwaterObs

refers to the file GroundwaterObs.dfs0 located in the subdirec­tory Time\Calibration, which is found in the same directory as the .she model document.

dfs0ItemNumber - This is the Item number of the observation data in the specified DFS0 file.
