Properties on elements

Implementing SCHISM model as part of NOAA's Integrated Water Modeling Projects

Overview

Properties on elements are specified by *.prop files. For the Delaware Bay model setup, the following two *.prop are needed:

  • tvd.prop (baroclinic): specifying the region in which low/high-order transport scheme should be used: tvd_prop.png
  • fluxflag.prop: specifying transects through which volume transport is recorded and included in the output file flux.dat: fluxflag.png

Generating *.prop

These *.prop can be made with xmgredit5 as:

prop.png

Alternatively, use the group of scripts inside this Prop folder to automatically make tvd.prop and fluxflag.prop for the current model setup. First, copy the folder into your run directory, then do:

[your_run_dir]$ cd Prop/

[your_run_dir]$ ./auto.pl

This will make the two *.prop files and save their copies in your run directory. You can read "auto.pl" to see what steps are involved.
