Abstract
In this clinic, we will provide a brief introduction to a selection of models (USGS and others), including FaSTMECH (2D/3D hydraulic) and PRMS (watershed hydrology), that have implemented a Basic Model Interface (BMI) and are available in the Python Modeling Toolkit (PyMT). We will interactively explore Jupyter Notebook examples of both stand-alone model operation and, as time permits, loosely coupled integrated modeling applications. Participants will need a laptop with a web browser. Knowledge of Python, Jupyter Notebook, and hydrologic/hydraulic modeling is helpful, but not required.
