Urban Scenarios require climate data to calculate water availability and demands.
The Urban Developer Plugin allows users to specify three types of climate inputs:
- rainfall
- evaporation
- temperature
Restrictions
The same climate data is applied to all nodes in an Urban Scenario, unlike Source Catchments and River Manager Scenarios, which allow different climate data to be specified for different features in the model.
Dependencies
The climate data has no dependencies.
Outputs
The climate data is used by Urban Developer nodes that have climate dependent behaviour.
Properties
| Property | Description | Units | Constraints |
|---|
| Rainfall | Time series of rainfall | mm | >= 0 |
| Evaporation | Time series of evaporation | mm | >= 0 |
| Temperature | Time series of temperature | °C | NA |
User Interface
Climate inputs are configured via the Urban Settings menu.
The climate time series can be specified using a constant Value, Data Source or /wiki/spaces/SD49/pages/54362212.
