Hydrological model (S-HYPE2016) — Water level forecast data for the Great Lakes

DESCRIPTION The dataset contains forecast data from the hydrological model S-HYPE2016 for 9 days ahead, for the time step 06-06. For driving the model until yesterday, precipitation and temperature from SMHI’s PTHBV database have been used. Precipitation and temperature from SMHI’s meteorological forecasting model PMP has been used to drive the model’s forecasting day. Parameters included in the file for 5 subareas are: wcom — Model-calculated water level in outlet lake, unit m. The sub-areas included are: 20344 — Storsjön 5049 — Lake Vänern 63815 — Vättern 40897 — Helmets 7087 — Lake Mälaren S-HYPE2016 is a hydrological model that describes the evolution of water flow and other hydrological parameters in time and space. Hype is a hydrological model for integrated simulation of flows and circulation of water and nutrients. It provides the possibility to calculate factors related to water resources and quality, but also other hydrological information with a high degree of geographical detail. S-HYPE2016 is a set of HYPE model for Sweden with a subdivision based on SVAR2016. More information about S-HYPE2016 and the hype model can be found in the Reference Guide to SMHI Vattenwebb; https://www.smhi.se/Professionella-tjanster/Professionella-tjanster/Miljo-och-klimat/Vattenmiljo/referensguide-till-smhi-vattenwebb-1.22742 DELIVERY In this service you can download files with real-time data via web service at delivery fee. The files shall be saved before further use. Send an e-mail to [email protected] for order. GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION The geographical identity used is subid, which is the internal subarea name of S-HYPE2016. The connection table (csv) and map file (shape) for the subid/subarea link, can be accessed via the download service. There is also a readme file describing how the files should be used. USE At SMHI, S-HYPE2016 is used as a basis for hydrological forecasts for the hydrological warning service. The model is also used to simulate water flow and water quality for the Swedish water management, as well as as a hydrological model for climate scenarios and in more research projects. FORMAT Data is delivered in NetCDF4 format that partly follows CF conventions CF-1.6 for point data.
