DEAR COLLEAGUE, 
WE ARE NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR 

THE COMMUNITY WRF-HYDRO MODELING SYSTEM - ABRIDGED VIRTUAL TRAINING WORKSHOP
CO-SPONSORED WITH CUAHSI

4,5,6 November 2020 9am-1pm MST || Virtual via Zoom

The WRF-Hydro Modeling System produces forecasts and analyses for all major terrestrial water-cycle components: Precipitation, Streamflow, Soil moisture, Snowpack, Flooding, Groundwater. These forecasts and analyses can be applied to a range of pursuits, such as flash-flood prediction, regional hydroclimate impact assessments, seasonal forecasting of water resources, and land-atmosphere coupling studies that supply forecasters, water managers, and government officials with data-driven science to better inform their decisions.

In this abridged virtual training workshop we will provide an indepth look into the capabilities within WRF-Hydro and provide participants with the building blocks to start their research with it.  Example studies of  events and model simulations will be presented as a demonstration of WRF-Hydro’s capabilities. Participants will gain experience with hands-on model configuration and execution and run experimental model simulations and comparisons with a prepared example test case. Participants will also be provided with information on additional resources that can be used to further their familiarity with WRF-Hydro and build on the basics learned during this tutorial.

Intended Topics to be covered in this workshop:

• Conceptualization and structure of the WRF-Hydro system

• Description of physics components and options within WRF-Hydro

• Model porting and compilation, and an overview of parallel computing with WRF-Hydro

• Hands-on model input data preparation and creation of an example test case

• Hands-on model configuration and execution

• Hands-on experimental model simulations and comparisons with a prepared example test case

• Hands-on example WRF|WRF-Hydro model coupled simulation

• Overview of model calibration

• Open discussion on class participant interests and applications & interactive activities
