Abstract

This resource demonstrates a cloud-native workflow for accessing and analyzing Integrated Vapor Transport (IVT) data stored in HydroShare as a Zarr dataset. The notebook uses HydroShare’s S3-compatible access with xarray and Dask to stream data directly from cloud storage, avoiding the need to download the full dataset locally.

The example focuses on a 1970–2009 subset of CESM2 Large Ensemble historical simulation data near Bodega Bay, California, a region often affected by winter atmospheric rivers. The workflow subsets IVT data in space and time, identifies atmospheric river conditions using an IVT threshold of 250 kg m⁻¹ s⁻¹, assigns atmospheric river categories based on intensity and duration, and calculates an event-integrated IVT metric as a simple measure of event severity. The notebook also produces decadal summaries and maps of atmospheric river category and degree for the selected study area.
