== Why the high resolution (HR) mapped results have a significantly smaller extent than the standard (non-HR) grid outputs for a sub-grid-scale (SGS) enabled direct rainfall HPC model? ==
The high resolution (HR) outputs are based on <u>[[TUFLOW_HR_Output#Introduction | intersecting]]</u> the standard water level output results with the HR DEM_Z. Due to the <u>[[TUFLOW_Output_Discussion#Why_are_the_values_of_the_mapped_water_level_results_.28h_max.29_lower_than_the_terrain_elevations_.28DEM_Z.29.3F | output limitation]]</u> for sub-grid-scale (SGS) enabled models with shallow sheet flow (particularly direct rainfall models) on sufficiently steep terrain, water levels can be output lower than the DEM_Z terrain elevations. This is due to the assumption (for output purposes) that water fills the SGS cell’s storage curve from the bottom, which differs from the approach of cell-average depth used computationally in TUFLOW HPC and in depth outputs. When the HR water level results are processed, the full extent of the standard water level results are intersected with the HR DEM_Z and any water level results that are lower than the HR DEM_Z elevations due to the above effect are trimmed. The extent of the HR water level results are then used to trim all other results outputs for HR.
