Now Accepting Applications for the June 2019 Community WRF-Hydro Modeling System Training Workshop

NCAR
Boulder Colorado, United States
04 - 07 June 2019

Deadlines Abstract submission: The abstract submission deadline has passed Registration: Registration is now closed Official website http://www.cvent.com/events/training-workshop-the-community-wrf-hydro-modeling-system/event-summary-782a65828b624639a77fac0639f87eb2.aspx

NCAR is pleased to partner with CUAHSI to offer the Community WRF-Hydro Modeling System training workshop, a 3.5-day hands-on tutorial on the use and applications of the Community WRF-Hydro Modeling System June 4-7, 2019 at NCAR in Boulder.

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.

Visit the event website to apply and for additional information about the workshop.

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. Preference will be given to applicants in the Academic and Nonprofit sectors.

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

Class participants will receive in-depth training via lectures and hands-on activities on the implementation and use of the WRF-Hydro system where all hands-on tutorial activities will be conducted in a formal computer laboratory located at NCAR in Boulder, CO.
