run_multisite_LWFB90

Make a multi-site simulation using lists of climate, soil, and parameter input objects.

Description

Wrapper function for run_LWFB90 to make multiple parallel simulations of one or several parameter sets, for a series of sites with individual climate and soil, or individual parameter sets for each climate/soil combinations.

Usage

run_multisite_LWFB90(
  options_b90,
  param_b90,
  soil = NULL,
  climate,
  climate_args = NULL,
  all_combinations = FALSE,
  cores = 2,
  show_progress = TRUE,
  ...
)

Arguments

`options_b90`	Named list of model control options to be used in all simulations
`param_b90`	Named list of parameters to be used in all simulations, or a list of multiple parameter sets.
`soil`	Data.frame with soil properties to be used in all simulations, or a list of data.frames with different soil profiles.
`climate`	Data.frame with climate data, or a list of climate data.frames. Alternatively, a function can be supplied that returns a data.frame. Arguments to the function can be passed via `climate_args`.
`climate_args`	List of named lists of arguments passed to `climate`, if this is a function.
`all_combinations`	Logical: Set up and run all possible combinations of individual `param_b90`, `climate` and `soil` objects? Default is `FALSE`, running one object or the list of `param_b90` objects for a series of climate/soil combinations.
`cores`	Number of cores to use for parallel processing.
`show_progress`	Logical: Show progress bar? Default is `TRUE`. See also section `Progress bar` below.
`...`	Further arguments passed to `run_LWFB90`.

Value

A named list with the results of the single runs as returned by run_LWFB90. Simulation or processing errors are passed on. The names of the returned list entries are concatenated from the names of the input list entries in the following form: <climate> <soil> <param_b90>. If climate is a function, the names for <climate> are taken from the names of climate_args.

Data management

The returned list of single run results can become very large, if many simulations are performed and the selected output contains daily resolution data sets, especially daily layer-wise soil moisture data. To not overload memory, it is advised to reduce the returned simulation results to a minimum, by carefully selecting the output, and make use of the option to pass a list of functions to run_LWFB90 via argument output_fun. These functions perform directly on the output of a single run simulation, and can be used for aggregating model output on-the-fly, or for writing results to a file or database. The regular output of run_LWFB90 can be suppressed by setting rtrn.output = FALSE, for exclusively returning the output of such functions. To provide full flexibility, the names of the current soil, param_b90, and climate are automatically passed as additional arguments (soil_nm, param_nm,clim_nm) to run_LWFB90 and in this way become available to functions passed via output_fun. In order to not overload the memory with climate input data, it is advised to provide a function instead of a list of climate data.frames, and specify its arguments for individual sites in climate_args, in case many sites with individual climates will be simulated.

Progress bar

This function provides a progress bar via the package progressr if show_progress=TRUE. The parallel computation is then wrapped with progressr::with_progress() to enable progress reporting from distributed calculations. The appearance of the progress bar (including audible notification) can be customized by the user for the entire session using progressr::handlers() (see vignette('progressr-intro')).
