Workshop Eligibility

Applicants must apply to attend the workshop. 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. 

There is a $75 workshop fee to participate in this workshop for accepted participants. 

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.

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 

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

• Open discussion on class participant interests and applications

Introduction to WRF-Hydro Modeling System 1-Day Short Course Hosted by AMS

Join us Tuesday 23 January 2022. This course will provide an introduction to the capabilities within WRF-Hydro® and provide participants with the basic building blocks to start their research with it. Participants will gain experience with hands-on model configuration and execution and run experimental model simulations and comparisons with a prepared example test case utilizing cloud-based technology. 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. This is a synchronous course and will not be recorded. Registration closes on Wednesday, 17 February 2021 at 11:59 PM Eastern Time. See the course webpage for full information and to Register
