Training Workshop: The Community WRF-Hydro Modeling System October 23 - 26, 2018 || Boulder, CO Application Deadline: July 31st NCAR is pleased to partner with CUAHSI to offer an extended (3.5 day) training on the Community WRF-Hydro Modeling System. Course Description This training workshop will provide graduate students and early career scientists with formal instruction on the structure and application of the WRF-Hydro system and will offer hands-on experience in setting up and running the system for several different research and prediction applications. Specific topics to be covered during the workshop include: * Conceptualization and structure of the WRF-Hydro system * Description of physics components and options within WRF-Hydro * Model porting and compilation, and an overview of parallel computing with WRF-Hydro * Hands-on model input data preparation and creation of an example test case * Hands-on model configuration and execution * Hands-on experimental model simulations and comparisons with a prepared example test case * Overview of the open source Rwrfhydro hydrologic model evaluation package with example vignettes * Overview of model calibration * Overview of data assimilation * Open discussion on class participant interests and applications Eligibility Applicants must apply to attend the workshop. Applications will be accepted from graduate students, post-docs, and professionals working in hydrology and/or the atmospheric sciences. Instructors will review applications to verify in advance that the applicant has the necessary skills and experience to successfully participate in the workshop and get the most out of the course topics. How to Apply Applications will be accepted until 5:00 p.m. EDT on July 31, 2018 via the following Google Form<https://goo.gl/forms/LhFv9thCO7zXFVd93>. Applications will be reviewed by course instructors and are evaluated based on the following criteria: Level of experience working in Unix environments; Level of experience working with GIS; Level of experience working with hydrologic models; Clarity of learning takeaways from the course; and Course relevancy to research and/or job. Applicants will be notified of acceptance on August 15, 2018.
