Usage example

  1. open a terminal and cd to the example directory

  2. Retrieve climate data from Idaho’s Metdata Thredds server from Sept 1, 2012 to August 31, 2013:

    dataCollectionThredds.py -ds 2012-09-01 -de 2013-08-31 -a precip --flip  vectorFile Domain_latlong.shp
    dataCollectionThredds.py -ds 2012-09-01 -de 2013-08-31 -a tempmax --flip  vectorFile Domain_latlong.shp
    dataCollectionThredds.py -ds 2012-09-01 -de 2013-08-31 -a tempmin --flip  vectorFile Domain_latlong.shp
    
  3. Write default parameters for the HBV model and the Muskingum routing model on the basin shapefiles:

    writeVectorModelParameters.py -subBasinsVectorFile subs1.shp -subBasinOutFile subsout.shp
    -streamVectorFile riv1.shp -streamOutFile rivout.shp
    
  4. Write default parameters for the raster components of the rainfall runoff model:

    writeRasterModelParameters.py precip_F2012-09-01_T2013-08-31.nc
    
  5. Run hydrologic model:

    hydrovehicle.py 08/31/2016 precip_F2012-09-01_T2013-08-31.nc tempmin_F2012-09-01_T2013-08-31.nc
     tempmax_F2012-09-01_T2013-08-31.nc param_files_test.json rivout.shp subsout.shp
