Additional Experiments

Next to the simple “run a model” tutorial we provide a number of notebooks to demonstrate more advanced uses of eWaterCycle. The purpose of all these notebooks is to demonstrate what little changes are needed to go from a simple “Hello World” of running a model, to more advanced use cases.

• Generating forcing from CMIP for climate change impact studies. In this notebook we make little changes to the tutorial notebook to not use ERA5 re-analysis data as forcing input, but rather use data from the CMIP models to do climate change impact studies.

• Calibrate a model using observational data. In this notebook we run the tutorial model a thousand times with different parameter sets to find the optimal parameter set linking model output to observations.

• Running a distributed, more complex model. In this notebook we run the PCRGlobWB distributed model developed by Utrecht University for a lot of global hydrology studies, focussed on the UK.
