Custom combination overlay for flood risk
Dear community,
I'm trying to make a custom combination overlay between two layers from the Rainfall overlay: Surface Max Speed (V) and Surface Max Value (D). I have used these output overlays before in a project to create a risk map based on the flood severity levels from Smith, Davey & Cox (2014) [1]. In ArcGIS I'm able to make this overlay in the Raster Calculator with the following SQL:
Con(("V"*"D" <=0.3) & ("D" < 0.3) & ("V" < 2.0), 1,
Con(("V"*"D" <=0.6) & ("D" < 0.5) & ("V" < 2.0), 2,
Con(("V"*"D" <=0.6) & ("D" < 1.2) & ("V" < 2.0), 3,
Con(("V"*"D" <=1.0) & ("D" < 2.0) & ("V" < 2.0), 4,
Con(("V"*"D" <=4.0) & ("D" < 4.0) & ("V" < 4.0), 5,6)))))
In Tygron I should be able to do this as well in a custom combination overlay, but I'm not that experienced yet with TQL and keep getting invalid arguments. Could someone have a look at what might be going wrong?:
IF(LTE(MULT(A,B),0.3) AND (LT(B,0.3)) AND (LT(A,2.0)),1,
IF(LTE(MULT(A,B),0.6) AND (LT(B,0.5)) AND (LT(A,2.0)),2,
IF(LTE(MULT(A,B),0.6) AND (LT(B,1.2)) AND (LT(A,2.0)),3,
IF(LTE(MULT(A,B),1.0) AND (LT(B,2.0)) AND (LT(A,2.0)),4,
IF(LTE(MULT(A,B),4.0) AND (LT(B,4.0)) AND (LT(A,4.0)),5,6)))))
(where A = Surface Max Speed , and B = Surface Max Value)

Hi there!
As a quick remark to steer away from confusing terminology: The Combo Overlay itself does not use TQL. The Combo Overlay uses a collection of mathematical and logical functions to perform a computation. More information about those functions can be found here: https://previewsupport.tygron.com/wiki/Combo_Overlay
In the Combo Overlay, all functions take on the following format:
function(parameter,parameter,parameter,...)
At a glance, the "AND" sections of your formulas are the most obvious requiring a change. Rather than using "A AND B", write it as "AND(A,B)".
This means that the following formula fragment:
IF(LTE(MULT(A,B),0.3) AND (LT(B,0.3)) AND (LT(A,2.0)),1, the-rest)
Should be rewritten as follows:
IF( AND( LTE(MULT(A,B),0.3) , LT(B,0.3) , LT(A,2.0) ),1, the-rest)
(spaces added for an attempt at legibility)
Can you try this and see whether this works for you?
Regards!

Hi Rudolf,
Thank you very much! Yes, it now works and looks as follows:
IF(AND(LTE(MUL(A, B), 0.3), LT(B, 0.3), LT(A, 2.0)), 1,
IF(AND(LTE(MUL(A, B), 0.6), LT(B, 0.5), LT(A, 2.0)), 2,
IF(AND(LTE(MUL(A, B), 0.6), LT(B, 1.2), LT(A, 2.0)), 3,
IF(AND(LTE(MUL(A, B), 1.0), LT(B, 2.0), LT(A, 2.0)), 4,
IF(AND(LTE(MUL(A, B), 4.0), LT(B, 4.0), LT(A, 4.0)), 5, 6)))))
