[Intertwin-2] Run SFINCS' output in RA2CE.

[Carsopre]

Milestone Epic 2

Input

• SFINCS model output (.netcdf),

Goal

The same deterministic flood maps based on a flood inundation model (SFINCS) and a hydrological model (Wflow) can be used to quantify damages to roads and assess impact on accessibility using the RA2CE.

• [x] It is possible to map SFINCS output as input for RA2CE.
• [x] A RA2CE model with SFINCS output can be run succesfully.
• [x] Verify the following calculations are still possible:
  • Vulnerability,
  • Accessibility,
  • Losses.

Constrains

• [ ] SFINCS' output needs to be translated:
  • Needs to be translated to .tif while keeping the time stamp.
  • Potentially use xarray.
  • There is a dependency with other developments with RA2CE, because 2024 is to run probabilistic analyses.
• Vulnerability, accessibility and losses calculations also can be run directly.
  • Input needed from Sahand/Matthias.
  • These modules are still under development to be fully integrated within RA2CE.

Uncertainties

• Task to check whether other format than .tif can still be used to perform our analyses (exposure analysis).

  • Maybe cloud-based geotiff.

• Probabilistic analysis. This is also part of Moonshot 2. Less of a priority.

• We interpret a probabilistic flood map as flood maps with different return periods.

  • These can be input into RA2CE.
  • However, when also fully probabilistic analyses with RA2CE need to be made additional work is necessary.
  • We need additional discussion with Intertwin if this is needed.

Deliverables

• [ ] A well documented jupyter notebook that is able to run ra2ce with a case study for the given input.

Original extract

Create capabilities so that the same deterministic flood maps based on a flood inundation model (SFINCS) and a hydrological model (Wflow) can be used to quantify damages to roads and assess impact on accessibility using the Resilience Assessment and Adaptation for Critical infrastructurE – model (RA2CE).

• As long as the output of SFINCS and Wflow is a spatial map with flood depth, this can be input into RA2CE

  • What comes out of SFINCS: .netcdf.
    • Needs to be translated to .tif while keeping the time stamp.
    • Potentially use xarray.
    • There is a dependency with other developments with RA2CE, because 2024 is to run probabilistic analyses.
  • Task to check whether other format then .tif can still be used to perform our analyses (exposure analysis).
    • Maybe cloud-based geotiff.

• The exposure analysis should not be too complicated.

• Ensure that the vulnerability, accessibility and losses calculations also can be run directly.

  • Input needed from Sahand/Matthias.
  • These modules are still under development to be fully integrated within RA2CE.

• Probabilistic analysis. This is also part of Moonshot 2. Less of a priority.

• We interpret a probabilistic flood map as flood maps with different return periods. These can be input into RA2CE. However, when also fully probabilistic analyses with RA2CE need to be made additional work is necessary. We need additional discussion with Intertwin if this is needed.

Conceptually this has been solved in the hackathon.

• We still require to add the probabilistic analysis
• We need to understand whether creating a 'buffer' for the (provided) boundary box is needed.
