Training Workshop: The Community WRF-Hydro Modeling System

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.

Specific topics to be covered during the workshop include:

• Conceptualization and structure of the WRF-Hydro system
• Description of physics components options within WRF-Hydro v5.0
• Model porting and compilation and overview of parallel computing with WRF-Hydro
• Model input data preparation
• Model configuration and execution
• Visualization and post-processing of model output
• Test cases and experimental runs
• Setup and use of the open source Rwrfhydro hydrologic model evaluation package
• Model calibration
• Open discussion on class participant interests and applications
