Application period opens Tomorrow (Tuesday) @ 8am ET for the June 2019 Community WRF-Hydro Modeling System Training Workshop
Molly
NCAR is pleased to partner with CUAHSI to offer the Training Workshop: The Community WRF-Hydro Modeling System, a 3.5-day hands-on training workshop on the use and applications of the Community WRF-Hydro Modeling System June 4-7, 2019 at NCAR in Boulder, Colorado USA.
Workshop Eligibility
Applicants must apply to attend the workshop beginning January 15, 2019 8:00 a.m. ET. Complete applications will be accepted on a rolling basis until 5:00 p.m. ET on February 15, 2019.
Applications will be accepted from current and incoming graduate students, post-docs, academics, and professionals working in hydrology and/or the atmospheric sciences. Instructors will review applications to verify in advance that the applicant has the necessary skills and experience to successfully participate in the workshop and get the most out of the course topics.
Requirements
Prior hydrologic and/or atmospheric modeling experience is required.
Must be comfortable working in a UNIX environment, running UNIX command line operations and text editors.
Familiarity with the R and/or Python programming language is recommended.
How to Apply
See the event website to apply. Applications will be accepted beginning January 15, 2019. Complete applications will be accepted on a rolling basis until 5:00 p.m. ET on February 15, 2019. However, we recommend that you submit your application as soon as possible, as applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis on first-come, first served. We reserve the right to review only the first 50 applications. Past offerings of this course have filled up very quickly.
Note: Preference will be given to those who have not yet attended a WRF-Hydro training, and are from the academic and nonprofit sectors in addition to the first-come-first-serve policy. Also note: The number of accepted representatives per institution is limited to 2.
Course Description
This training workshop will provide graduate students and early career scientists with formal instruction on the structure and application of the WRF-Hydro system and will offer hands-on experience in setting up and running the system for several different research and prediction applications.
Topics to be covered during the workshop include but are not limited to:
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 the open source Rwrfhydro hydrologic model evaluation package with example vignettes
Overview of model calibration
Open discussion on class participant interests and applications
