The following source is the exact model kernel used by this adapter. For MARRMoT it includes the state derivative and each referenced flux function; the solver and routing are described above. Original notices and source citations are retained in the files.

% Smooths the transition of threshold functions of the form:
%
% Q = { P, if S = Smax
% { 0, if S < Smax
%
% By transforming the equation above to Q = f(P,S,Smax,e,r):
% Q = P * 1/ (1+exp((S-Smax+r*e*Smax)/(r*Smax)))
%
% Inputs:
% S : current storage
% Smax : maximum storage
% r : [optional] smoothing parameter rho, default = 0.01
% e : [optional] smoothing parameter e, default 5
%
% NOTE: this function only outputs the multiplier. This needs to be
% applied to the proper flux utside of this function.
%
% NOTE: can be applied for temperature thresholds as well (i.e. snow
% modules). This simply means that S becomes T, and Smax T0.
% Check for inputs and use defaults if not provided
% NOTE: this is not very elegant, but it is more than a factor 10 faster then:
% if ~exist('r','var'); r = 0.01; end
% if ~exist('e','var'); e = 5.00; end
if nargin == 2
r = 0.01;
e = 5.00;
elseif nargin == 3
r = r{1};
e = 5.00;
elseif nargin == 4
r = r{1};
e = e{1};
end
% Calculate multiplier
Smax = max(Smax,0); % this avoids numerical instabilities when Smax<0
if r*Smax == 0
out = 1 ./ (1+exp((S-Smax+r*e*Smax)/(r)));
else
out = 1 ./ (1+exp((S-Smax+r*e*Smax)/(r*Smax)));
end
end
Note
This standardized MARRMoT structure is not identical to the original named model. p01... follow exact source order; s01... are fixed initial stores, defaulting to zero. Octave + optim are required. Solver behavior can differ across runtime versions.
Simulation
from basinforge import Basin, get_model
basin = Basin.from_csv("basin.csv", basin_id="A", area_km2=1200,
q_unit="m3/s", timestep="daily")
q_mm = get_model("MARRMOT_16").simulate(basin)
q_m3s = basin.to_m3s(q_mm)
Supply your actual data and catchment area; temperature-dependent models require a temperature column. For non-daily models, choose an appropriate warmup in model steps.
