Removing the Headache of Running and Coupling Hydrological Models by using the eWaterCycle Platform Built on BMI
Abstract
A wide variety of hydrological models are used by hydrologists: some differ because they were designed for different applications, some because of personal preferences of the modeller. All of them share the property that, like most scientific research code, it is rather hard to get someone elses model to run. The recently launched eWaterCycle platform takes away the headache of working with each other's models. In eWaterCycle models are run in containers and communicate with the central (Jupyter based) runtime environment through BMI. In this way a user can be talking to a Fortran model from Python without having to know anything about Fortran. Removing this headache allows hydrologists to easily run and couple each other's models facilitating science questions like the impact of model choice on results, or coupling different (regional, processes) models together with ease. In this talk I will highlight (and demonstrate) both the technology behind the eWaterCycle platform as well as the current and future research being done using the platform.
