Overview of current output files which will be converted to a CF compliant file

...

Terms:
Geographic coordinate systems:
In Delft3D there are two methods to store coordinates:

  • Cartesian
  • Spherical
    SOBEK stores output in a cartesian system. If you start an empty SOBEK session the default is to show the Dutch Map stored in Amersfoort New system.

 

Current Delft3D/SOBEK

CF Compliant

notes

Datum (shape of the earth)

Delft3D:WGS_1984
SOBEK:Bessel 1841

WGS_1984

The geoid is not explicitly defined in the CF convention. There was some discussion on this.

Projection/Geographic Coordinate System

Delft3D Spherical:WGS84
Delft3D Cartesian: Unknown
SOBEK: Amersfoort new The region is only valid in the bounding box of the Netherlands but this restriction is not used.

Projection by grid mapping. Projection information is also stored. Data is alwasy provided in WGS84

                        1. In the current version of the program, the hydrodynamic grid connects the 3D coördinates of the cell centres of the computation grid points. This may change in a future release to represent the bounding boxes of the grid cells.
                        2. These fields are expanded depending on the contents of the data file. Units: temperature in °C, salinity in ppt, secondary flow in m/s, sediment concentrations in kg/m$^3$, turbulent kinetic energy in m$^2$/s$^2$, energy dissipation in m$^2$/s$^3$. The user defined tracer concentrations are in unknown units.
                        3. These locations are only valid if the correct drying/flooding setting is selected in the file options dialog.
                        4. Units depend on the model input. By default the units are m$^3$/sm where the volume represents m$^3$ stone. It can also be switched to m$^3$/sm where the volume represents m$^3$ bed volume, or kg/sm.
                        5. New 2D and 3D fields of the same dimension as the grid are automatically detected. They are assumed to be located at water level points.

                        Required information per file format:

                        • References to write and read routines.
                        • References to example files. (in quickplot tests)
                        • For each file we need information of how this file will be made CF compliant.
