SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires rasterio, numpy.

What problem does it solve?

HydroTrend KI provides an end-to-end, reproducible workflow to run a climate-driven hydrological transport model for basins, packaging data preparation, model configuration, execution, and validation so scientists can operate complex Earth-system simulations with AI agents.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Executable data preparation tools (Python scripts) that transform forcing data into HydroTrend inputs
  • Comprehensive documentation including the SKILL.md, diagnostic triplets, and preflight validation
  • Deterministic execution and validation across basins, climates, and scenarios

Quick Start

Place HYDRO.IN and HYDRO0.HYPS in the HydroTrend KI directory and run the HydroTrend workflow using the provided scripts.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate basin-scale hydrological modeling and sediment transport simulations?

Basin-scale hydrological modeling and sediment transport simulations are automated using a climate-driven workflow that orchestrates data preparation, model configuration, execution, and validation with built-in diagnostics.

What climate forcing and hypsometry data formats do I need for HydroTrend basin modeling?

HydroTrend basin modeling requires placing HYDRO.IN and HYDRO0.HYPS files in the working directory to provide the necessary climate forcing and hypsometry inputs for execution.

How does reproducible sediment transport modeling handle parameterization and preflight checks?

Reproducible sediment transport modeling enforces preflight validation checks, applies deterministic parameterization across basins and climates, and generates standardized outputs with diagnostic triplets.

Do I need numpy and rasterio to run climate-driven hydrological workflows?

Yes, the climate-driven hydrological workflow requires numpy and rasterio dependencies to execute its Python data preparation scripts and process forcing data into model inputs.

Can I use this workflow for climate scenario validation across multiple basins?

Yes, the workflow supports deterministic execution and validation across multiple basins, climates, and scenarios, providing reproducible results with built-in diagnostics for auditable pipelines.

Why does HydroTrend execution fail without proper preflight validation and YAML metadata?

HydroTrend execution enforces dependency on included scripts and YAML metadata to run preflight checks, ensuring forcing data is correctly transformed and preventing invalid model configurations.
