High Resolution Topography/Hydrology Model

ATLSS High Resolution Hydrology
The High Resolution Topography model provides
more detail about local variation in elevation.
The detail captures variation in elevation due to
important features such as tree islands.
With the High Resolution Topography, High
Resolution Hydrology values can be created from
the SFWMD hydrology. Hydrology values created
in this way provide the spatial variation and
resolution required to model the dynamics of many
animal populations in South Florida.

How High Resolution Topography Is Made.
At each location in the Florida GAP map, the
model predicts a ground surface which is higher
or lower than the base ground surface, derived
from the hydroperiod of the cell, as given by the
SFWMD hydrology data, and the estimated
hydroperiod for the habitat type at that
location. The total volume of water predicted
by the SFWMD model in each grid cell is preserved
in the High Resolution Hydrology Model.

High Resolution Topography Model
A hydroperiod curve for each location on the map
showing the number of days the water surface was
at or above each elevation. This curve is
generated from the Calibration/Validation run of
the SFWMD hydrology model.
