Data Component Use Case for Overland Flow Simulation
Contributor(s)
Tian Gan at University of Colorado Boulder.
Introduction
Overland flow, particularly the infiltration-excess mechanism, is affected by the nature of water input through precipitation. This Jupyter notebook demonstrates how to use the CSDMS Data Components to download the topography dataset and use the Landlab components to delineate the watershed and simulate the overland flow for a study area in the Boulder County.
Classroom organization
In this lab, you will learn how to use the Data Components to download terrain and climate datasets. You will also learn how to couple the Data Components with the Landlab components for watershed delineation and overland flow simulation.

Lab notes
This lab can be run on the lab (for educators) and jupyter (for general use) instances of the OpenEarthscape JupyterHub: just click one of the links under the Run online using heading at the top of this page, then run the notebook in the "CSDMS" kernel.
Requirements
If run locally, please use the environment yaml file to create a virtual environment for running the notebook (https://github.com/gantian127/overlandflow_usecase/blob/master/environment.yml).
