Hydrodynamic model of the Cooper Creek floodplain - South Australian supplementary data

Abstract

This dataset was compiled by the Geological and Bioregional Assessment Program from source data referenced within the dataset and/or metadata. NOTE: LARGE FILE SIZE ~286 GB. The dataset contains the output flood depth TIFF files, extracted and converted from the Hydrodynamic model of the Cooper Creek floodplain for the South Australian extent of the model. The outputs from the hydrodynamic modelling which include daily estimates of surface water elevation, water depth and velocities for each mesh element for all the historical flood events used are found in the main dataset. The full details about the modelling (model setups, inputs and outputs) are described in details in the Cooper flood modelling report. This is a large dataset and may take several hours to several days to download depending on internet connection speed.

History

South Australian model outputs extracted from the Hydrodynamic model of the Cooper Creek floodplain. The model setup includes model mesh and all related setup files, inputs include rainfall, potential evapotranspiration, LiDAR DEM, river and water holes bathymetry, classified Landsat images for the flood events used, soil characteristics, vegetation characteristics, observed streamflow at the upstream gauges and ungauged inflows along the model domain boundaries estimated using a regionally calibrated rainfall-runoff model.
