Abstract

This resource was developed as part of a HydroLearn module of the same name. It is divided into 3 sections that correspond to their respective units in the learning module. The first, Data_Analysis, uses a Jupyter notebook and historical USGS and NOAA data (uploaded by the user) to estimate evapotranspiration using a water balance approach for a small undisturbed watershed and display annual seasonality of precipitation and streamflow. The next, RHESSys_Model introduces the user to RHESSys, an ecohydrologic model, and uses it to conduct a simple sensitivity analysis in the JupyterHub environment. The last, Model_Eval, uses a Jupyter notebook to evaluate RHESSys model output of streamflow in Sagehen Creek against observed streamflow analyzed in the first unit.

This resource is part of a HydroLearn module that examines historical drought in California watersheds with RHESSys, an ecohydrological model.

Audience

The primary audience is advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate students engaged in learning activities for the above HydroLearn module, but it may be of use to anyone who wants a simple Python data analysis or model evaluation example.

To use this Resource

  1. At the top right click on "Open With" to open the HydroShare resource on the compute platform selected. Pick CyberGIS-Jupyter for Water and a RHESSys environment, if prompted.

  2. Once JupyterHub opens click to open an .ipynb file.

  3. Follow the instructions in the notebook to conduct analyses.
