[8pt] Add lake masking to stage-based CatFIM processing #1358
Comments
Developing the method to remove lakes from stage-based CatFIMThe goal of this task is to remove inaccurate CatFIM inundation in and around lakes. Initially, I tried just masking out the lake polygons after the inundation layers were created. Next, I tried just filtering out the stream segments that have a LakeID associated with them, so those segments just are not inundated. The best answer was to combine these methods. By filtering out the HydroIDs that have an associated LakeID, we refrain from inundating most of the stream segments associated with the lake. And then masking out the lakes at the end cleans up any last sections where the lake still might have gotten inundated. |
Geopackages of newly masked CatFIM sites and masked areasIn order to facilitate communication about the newly masked CatFIM sites, I've made CatFIM sites geopackages to show which sites are impacted by the new lake masking. There is a lake_masked column, and where the column is 'True,' there is at least 0.02 sq km of lake masked from the CatFIM. I've also included lake intersection geopackages to show what specific areas are being masked out from the CatFIM with this new update. These files are in a Google Drive folder but available upon request. |
Stage-based CatFIM does not currently use any lake masking. This results in it inundating areas that we know are water bodies, which could be misleading.
Update stage-based CatFIM so that it masks out and doesn't inundate areas that are known waterbodies.
