ADCIRCPy

Python library for automating ADCIRC model runs.

tests build codecov version license style documentation

Documentation can be found at https://adcircpy.readthedocs.io

Organization / Responsibility

ADCIRCpy is currently maintained by the Coastal Marine Modeling Branch (CMMB) of the Office of Coast Survey (OCS), a part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), an agency of the United States federal government. It was majorly developed by @jreniel.

Installation

Please use a virtual environment with Python>=3.6. You may use conda or the OS's Python to provide a virtual environment for the application.

You may install the application though pip. This will install the latest tagged version.

pip install adcircpy

Alternatively, you many manually install the repo by cloning it and then running

pip install .

Usage

Command Line Interface (CLI)

This program exposes a few commands available from the command line interface. You may pass the -h flag to any of this commands to explore their functionality.

  • tide_gen
  • plot_mesh
  • tidal_run
  • best_track_run
  • best_track_file
  • plot_maxele
  • plot_fort61
  • fort63

examples

generate tidal constituent template

You can quickly create a tidal component table for your your mesh by executing the tide_gen command and by passing a mesh, a start date and number of run days as arguments. This functions sources data from the HAMTIDE database by default.

tide_gen \
    /path/to/your/fort.14 \
    2021-02-26T00:00:00 \
    15 \
    --mesh-crs='epsg:4326'
run best-track run for Hurricane Sandy (AL182012)

To create the ADCIRC input files includes both tides and storm data for Hurricane Sandy:

best_track_run \
    /path/to/your/fort.14 \
    Sandy2012 \
    --fort13=/path/to/your/fort.13 \
    --crs=EPSG:4326 \
    --output-directory=/path/where/you/want/the/files \
    --constituents=all \
    --spinup-days=15.0 \
    --elev=30. \
    --mete=30. \
    --velo=30. \
    --skip-run

Note that the --crs flag is required due to the fort.14 not containing Coordinate Reference System information which is required for correct operation. EPSG:4326 means that the mesh is in WGS84 ( lat/lon). Note that the backlash represents "continue on next line" for the shell. You may write the command above on a single line after excluding the backslashes.

plot results

These are two examples for doing quick plots with the package. These are given here as illustrative examples only. There is support for more file types than this examples, but the program does not yet support every output input/output file type. As a user, you are encouraged to explore what's available and suggest and contribute your improvements.

plot_fort61 /path/to/fort.61.nc MSL --show --coops-only
plot_mesh /path/to/fort.14 --show-elements

Python API

See the examples directory for usage examples.

example_1.py

The following code builds a simple ADCIRC run configuration by doing the following:

  1. reads a fort.14 mesh file (specifically a test mesh for Shinnecock Inlet)
  2. adds tidal forcing to the mesh
  3. creates an AdcircRun driver object with the mesh, including start and end dates
  4. overrides default model options in the resulting fort.15
  5. runs ADCIRC if present, otherwise writes configuration to disk

However, the input formats and configuration are inflexible and not straight forward for operational implementation, making rapid iteration of model testing, ensemble configuration, and model coupling complicated. Here, we introduce a flexible abstraction of model inputs and outputs written in Python, called ADCIRCpy, that provides a simpler user interface for automatically generating ADCIRC configuration to a variety of inputs and model scenarios. This documentation outlines 1. the needs for such an abstraction, 2. the peculiarities and challenges with the ADCIRC model that necessitate custom logic, and 3. methodologies for generalizing user input in such a way as to make generating model configurations consistent, fast, and efficient.}
