The detailed time series output allows you to save any output parameter at every time step of the particular process. Since the different processes run at different time steps, you may get, for example, much more detailed output for the unsaturated zone than for the saturated zone.
Each item in the Detailed time series is displayed automatically in an HTML format graph on the Run tab while the simulation is running.
You can also add observation data to each of the detailed time series items
A full list of available output items, as well as more detail on the individual items is found in the section Output Items (V1 p. 90).
Importing ASCII data
Detailed MIKE SHE Time Series data can be imported directly into the Detailed MIKE SHE Time Series 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 fields and be in the format specified below.
Name>data typeCode>NewPlot>X >Y >Depth>UseObsdata>dfs0Filename>dfs0ItemNumber
where the > symbol denotes the Tab character and
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. See the list of available Data Type Codes in Appendix A, MIKE SHE Output Items (V1 p. 781).
NewPlot - This is a flag to specify whether a new detailed time series HTML-plot will be created on the Results Tab:
0 = the output will be added to the previous plot.
1 = Create a new plot
X, Y - This is the (X, Y) map coordinates of the point in the same EUM units (ft, m, etc.) as specified in the EUM Database for Item geometry 2-dimensional. (see EUM Data Units)
Depth -This is the depth of the observation point below land surface for subsurface observation points. The value is in same EUM units (ft, m, etc.) as specified in the EUM Database for Depth Below Ground (see EUM Data Units). A depth value must always be included, even if not needed.
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.
Import Example
The following is a simple example of a tab delimited ASCII file with two MIKE SHE observation points, where the file containing the observations is called obsdata.dfs0:
Obs_1 20 1 234500. 456740. 0. 0 .\time\obsdata 1
Obs_2 15 1 239700. 458900. 10. 1 .\time\obsdata 2
Obs_3 16 0 241500. 459310. 20. 1 .\time\obsdata 3
