Demonstrate Data Preparation for NextGen-based modeling for developers workshop #40
Description
Summary
For the CIROH Training and Developers Conference, we need to demonstrate how to access basic sources of input data to prepare a data package to go with the NextGen-In-A-Box resource.
What we need to cover in the workshop:
The workshop would ideally cover everything needed to run a basic CFE-based simulation in the NextGen framework. The minimum input set for that is the following:
- Forcing Datasets
- Hydrofabric dataset (catchment.geojson, nexus.geojson)
- Partition File (for parallel execution of NextGen framework models; also derived from hydrofabric Geopackage)
- Realization File
- Warm State/.ini files
We do not expect that the Warm State capability will be available by the time we do the workshop, so we will probably use a static .ini file. We are also planning on a stock realization file that would only need to be updated with the file paths for a custom implementation.
So, in general, we need to create two main notebooks with a demonstration of :
- How to download and process the static hydrofabric data to prepare the catchment and nexus files.
- How to download and process the dynamic forcing data
We can share stock examples of the realization file, partition file, and .ini file.
We would eventually need a notebook showing how to work through the process of
- How to create a warmstate file.

Notes
Sources of Data
AORC – Forcing resource
AORC version 1.0 – corresponds (we think) to the NWM 2.0 and 2.1 datasets

NWM 1.2 - Forced with NLDAS

NWM 2.0 - Forced with AORC 1.0

NWM 2.1 - Forced with AORC 1.0
AORC 1.1 – not yet used for NWM retrospective
Hydrofabric
Capability to identify upstream watershed from a Lat-lon (use this for the actual subset)
