This object contains the list of FUSE model structures implemented by Clark et al. (2011). This is available as numerical codes (modlist) or strings (modliststring). The variables are as follows:
mid = model id number
rferr = type of rainfall error
arch1 = architecture of the upper soil layer
arch2 = architecture of the lower soil layer
qsurf = surface runoff
qperc = vertical drainage
esoil = evapotranspiration
qintf = interflow
q_tdh = routing
Each row identifies a model structure and each column identifies a different element of the model structure. For each element of the model structure, several model decisions can be made (see Clark et al. 2011 for details):
Rainfall error (rferr)
additive_e (additive rainfall error) = 11
multiplc_e (multiplicative rainfall error) = 12
Architecture of the upper soil layer (arch1)
onestate_1 (Single state: upper layer defined by a single state variable) = 21
tension1_1 (Separate tension storage: upper layer broken up into tension and free storage) = 22
tension2_1 (Cascading buckets: tension storage sub-divided into recharge and excess) = 23
Architecture of the lower soil layer (arch2)
fixedsiz_2 (baseflow reservoir of fixed size) = 31
tens2pll_2 (tension reservoir plus two parallel tanks) = 32
unlimfrc_2 (baseflow reservoir of unlimited size (0-HUGE), frac rate) = 33
unlimpow_2 (baseflow reservoir of unlimited size (0-HUGE), power recession) = 34
Runoff (qsurf)
arno_x_vic (Unsaturated zone Pareto: ARNO/Xzang/VIC parameterization (upper zone control)) = 41
prms_varnt (Unsaturated zone linear: PRMS variant (fraction of upper tension storage)) = 42
tmdl_param (Saturated zone topographic: TOPMODEL parameterization (only valid for TOPMODEL qb)) = 43
Percolation (qperc)
perc_f2sat (Drainage above field capacity: water from (field cap to sat) avail for percolation) = 51
perc_lower (Gravity drainage: percolation defined by moisture content in lower layer (SAC)) = 52
perc_w2sat (Saturated zone control: water from wilt point to saturation is available for percolation) = 53
Evaporation (esoil)
rootweight (root weighting) = 61
sequential (sequential evaporation model) = 62
Interflows (qintf)
intflwnone (interflow denied) = 71
intflwsome (interflow allowed) = 72
Routing (q_tdh)
no_routing (routing denied) = 81
rout_gamma (routing allowed using Gamma distribution with shape parameter = 2.5) = 82
The function readmd() returns the model components corresponding to a given id. A similar function (readmd2var()) reads the components as either character or numeric vector.
On Clark's model list, the parent models (Topmodel, VIC, PRMS and Sacramento) have id = 60, 230, 342 and 426 respectively.
For example, model 5 is identified by the following numeric codes: data(modlist) modlist[5,]
