20/12/2021: VECTRI v1.9 released!!!
NEW features in VECTRI v1.9
This upgrade to the code mostly focuses on improvements to the hydrological scheme. The manual will be upgraded soon to outline these in more detail.
  • Ability to read in externally generated pond fraction from a full hydrological modelling scheme
  • New map of permanent breeding sites using pond edge fraction derived from Sentinal 2 data (20m/150m resolution Africa/global, aggregated to 5km)
  • Correction and relaunch of the revised Asare pond scheme which allows for non-linear runoff and overflow and is validated against in situ observations and high resolution modelling in Ghana and Niger (see Asare et al. 2016a/b)
  • Maps of soil texture used to allow spatially varying infiltration rates according to clay/silt/sand proportions
  • New -v command line option to pass modified paramters to code (avoiding the need to place options in the vectri.options file).

    • Version 1.8.0/1.8.1
    Jan 2020: Diffusion of vectors between gridcells added.
    May 2019, Version 1.7.0 has now been released (May 2019) which introduces a massively simplified interface to make it much easier to run the code with gridded data. The model no longer accepts text file input, only netcdf input is possible (a grib interface is currently under testing). A new (and slowly improving) manual is also available.

    VECTRI now has a constrained genetic algorithm for calibration using the extensive PR database of MAP Oxford
