NextGen Research DataStream: How to Contribute to Improving NextGen Forecasts
Day 3 Session 1 (10:30 AM)
Presenters:
Jordan Laser, Lynker
James Halgen, AWI
Zach Wills, Lynker
Arpita Patel, AWI
Giovanni Romero, Aquaveo
The NextGen Research DataStream is a system that performs daily NextGen executions in AWS cloud. The configuration for these Next Gen simulations is publicly available in the ngen-datastream repository. This enables the community direct access to the configuration and the ability to make contributions to improving forecasts made with the NextGen framework. This workshop walks through the process by which a community member may propose a change to the configuration and thereby demonstrate how the community writ large can improve NextGen forecasts.
Learning Outcomes:
- Understand what the Research DataStream is
- Understand the process by which edits to the NextGen configuration can be made by a community member
Prerequisites:
Knowledge:
- Experience with Next Gen Water Modeling Framework
- Experience with Next Gen In A Box
- Experience with Git and GitHub
Hardware/Software:
Attendees will be given access to a VM on NSF Jetstream with all necessary packages installed. Attendees should verify that they are able to access the VM before the workshop begins. Email will be sent to attendees one week before the Conference. Software required for using a local machine for the workshop is listed below.
- Participants will need to clone the NGEN Datastream repository
- Participants will need access to a linux-based development environment
- Git
