ABSTRACT:

This resource, configured for execution in connected JupyterHub compute platforms using the CyberGIS-Jupyter for Water (CJW) environment's supported High-Performance Computing (HPC) resources (Expanse or Virtual ROGER) through CyberGIS-Compute Service, helps the modelers to reproduce and build on the results from the VB study (Van Beusekom et al., 2022) as explained by Maghami et el. (2023).

For this purpose, four different Jupyter notebooks are developed and included in this resource which explore the paper goal for four example CAMELS site and a pre-selected period of 60-month simulation to demonstrate the capabilities of the notebooks. The first notebook processes the raw input data from CAMELS dataset to be used as input for SUMMA model. The second notebook utilizes the CJW environment's supported HPC resource (Expanse or Virtual ROGER) through CyberGIS-Compute Service to executes SUMMA model. This notebook uses the input data from first notebook using original and altered forcing, as per further described in the notebook. The third notebook utilizes the outputs from notebook 2 and visualizes the sensitivity of SUMMA model outputs using Kling-Gupta Efficiency (KGE). The fourth notebook, only developed for the HPC environment (and only currently working with Expanse HPC), enables transferring large data from HPC to the scientific cloud service (i.e., CJW) using Globus service integrated by CyberGIS-Compute in a reliable, high-performance and fast way. More information about each Jupyter notebook and a step-by-step instructions on how to run the notebooks can be found in the Readme.md fie included in this resource. Using these four notebooks, modelers can apply the methodology mentioned above to any (one to all) of the 671 CAMELS basins and simulation periods of their choice. As this resource uses HPC, it enables a high-speed running of simulations which makes it suitable for larger simulations (even as large as the entire 671 CAMELS sites and the whole 60-month simulation period used in the paper) practical and much faster than when no HPC is used.

ABSTRACT:

This resource, configured for execution in connected JupyterHub compute platforms, helps the modelers to reproduce and build on the results from the VB study (Van Beusekom et al., 2022) as explained by Maghami et el. (2023). For this purpose, three different Jupyter notebooks are developed and included in this resource which explore the paper goal for one example CAMELS site and a pre-selected period of 60-month actual simulation to demonstrate the capabilities of the notebooks. For even a faster assesment of the capabilities of the notebooks, users are recommended to opt for a shorter simulation period (e.g., 12 months of actual simulation and six months of initialization) and one example CAMELS site. The first notebook processes the raw input data from CAMELS dataset to be used as input for SUMMA model. The second notebook executes SUMMA model using the input data from first notebook using original and altered forcing, as per further described in the notebook. Finally, the third notebook utilizes the outputs from notebook 2 and visualizes the sensitivity of SUMMA model outputs using Kling-Gupta Efficiency (KGE). More information about each Jupyter notebook and a step-by-step instructions on how to run the notebooks can be found in the Readme.md fie included in this resource.

ABSTRACT:

The overall goal of this collection is to use the basic strategy and architecture presented by Choi et al. (2021) to make components of a modern and complex hydrologic modeling study (VB study; Van Beusekom et al., 2022) easier to reproduce. The design and implemention of the developed cyberinfrastructure to achieve this goal are fully explained by Maghami et al. (2023).

In VB study, hydrological outputs from the SUMMA model for the 671 CAMELS catchments across the contiguous United States (CONUS) and a 60-month actual simulation period are investigated to understand their dependence on input forcing behavior across CONUS. VB study layes out a simple methodology that can be applied to understand the relative importance of seven model forcings (precipitation rate, air temperature, longwave radiation, specific humidity, shortwave radiation, wind speed, and air pressure).

Choi et al. (2021) integrated three components through seamless data transfers for a reproducible research: (1) online data and model repositories; (2) computational environments leveraging containerization and self-documented computational notebooks; and (3) Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) that provide programmatic control of complex computational models.

Therefore, Maghami et al. (2023), integrated the following three components through seamless data transfers to make components of a modern and complex hydrologic study (VB study) easier to reproduce:
(1) HydroShare as online data and model repository;
(2) CyberGIS-Jupyter for Water for self-documented computational notebooks as computational environment (with and without HPC notebooks);
(3) pySUMMA as Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) that provide programmatic control of complex computational models.

This collection includes three resources:

1- First resource, provides the entire NLDAS forcing datasets used in the VB study.
2- Second resource provides an end-to-end workflow of CAMELS basin modeling with SUMMA for the paper simulations configured for execution in connected JupyterHub compute platforms. This resource is well-suited for a smaller scale exploration: it is preconfigured to explore one example CAMELS site and a period of 60-month actual simulation to demonstrate the capabilities of the notebooks. Users still can change the CAMELS site, the number of sites being explored or even the simulation period. To quickly assess the capabilities of the notebooks in this resource, we even recommend running an actual simulation period as short as 12 months.
3- Third resource, however, uses HPC (High-Performance Computing) through CyberGIS Computing Service. The HPC enables a high-speed running of simulations which makes it suitable for running larger simulations (even as large as the entire 671 CAMELS sites and the whole 60-month actual simulation period used in the VB study) practical and much faster than the second resource. This resource is preconfigured to explore four example CAMELS site and a period of 60-month actual simulation to only demonstrate the capabilities of the notebooks. Users still can change the CAMELS sites, the number of sites being explored or even the simulation period.

Greater details can be found in each resource.

ABSTRACT:

This resource, configured for execution in connected JupyterHub compute platforms, helps the modelers to reproduce and build on the results from the paper (Van Beusekom et al., 2021). For this purpose, three different Jupyter notebooks are developed and included in this resource which explore the paper goal for one example CAMELS site and a pre-selected period of 18-month simulation to demonstrate the capabilities of the notebooks. The first notebook processes the raw input data from CAMELS dataset to be used as input for SUMMA model. The second notebook executes SUMMA model using the input data from first notebook using original and altered forcing, as per further described in the notebook. Finally, the third notebook utilizes the outputs from notebook 2 and visualizes the sensitivity of SUMMA model outputs using Kling-Gupta Efficiency (KGE).

HydroShare Pangeo
Created: Sept. 21, 2018, 9:27 p.m.
Authors: Bart Nijssen · Christina Bandaragoda

ABSTRACT:

The HydroShare Web App provides easy access to a containerized version of SUMMA as part of the NSF-funded Pangeo project. Pangeo uses docker images that contain SUMMA and pysumma and that allow SUMMA to be run from within Jupyter notebooks. The Pangeo instance enables SUMMA to be used in commercial cloud environments as well as for graduate education.

Waterhackweek 2019 Cyberseminar: Workflows for gridded climate datasets
Created: Aug. 27, 2019, 2:18 p.m.
Authors: Nijssen, Bart · Diana Gergel

ABSTRACT:

Climate change, forecasting, satellite datasets, large model ensembles ... Large gridded datasets are everywhere in hydrology and earth science. While accessing and analyzing these datasets required some serious programming skills not so long ago, a number of toolkits are now available that let you easily access, ingest, analyze and display gridded climate datasets. In this webinar we’ll discuss one of the most common file formats used in our field for large data sets, the Network Common Data Format (NetCDF), and step through a Jupyter notebook to showcase python packages, such as xarray and cartopy, that can be used to examine them. No prior experience required, although we will build on some of the skills you have acquired in earlier webinars in the series.

NLDAS Forcing NetCDF using CAMELS datasets from 1980 to 2018
Created: Nov. 4, 2020, 8:57 p.m.
Authors: Naoki Mizukami · Wood, Andrew

ABSTRACT:

This resource was created using CAMELS (https://ral.ucar.edu/solutions/products/camels) `TIME SERIES NLDAS forced model output` from 1980 to 2018.
The original NLDAS (North American Land Data Assimilation System) hourly forcing data was created by NOAA by 0.125 x 0.125 degree grid.
Through creating CAMELS datasets, hourly forcing data were reaggregated to 671 basins in the USA.
In this study, we merged all CAMELS forcing data into one NetCDF file to take advantage of OPeNDAP (http://hyrax.hydroshare.org/opendap/hyrax/) in HydroShare.
Currently, using SUMMA CAMELS notebooks (https://www.hydroshare.org/resource/ac54c804641b40e2b33c746336a7517e/), we can extract forcing data to simulate SUMMA in the particular basins in 671 basins of CAMELS datasets.
