SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires geopandas, rasterio, xarray, pandas, numpy, matplotlib, shapely.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a complete knowledge infrastructure for HYPE v5.35.0, enabling autonomous setup, execution, and validation of semi-distributed hydrology with integrated nitrogen and phosphorus transport and lake regulation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • End-to-end HYPE KI workflow: subbasin delineation, SLC classification, forcing preparation, GeoData/GeoClass generation, LakeData/DamData configuration, NPC integration, and calibration/analysis.
  • Reproducible and validated pipelines: enforcing formatting rules, directory slash conventions, and parameter integrity with built-in diagnostics and cross-model checks.
  • Production-grade applicability: supports NPC-enabled simulations, lake regulation, data assimilation readiness, and cross-model comparisons (e.g., VIC-HYPE).

Quick Start

Configure and run the full HYPE KI workflow from data preparation through NPC integration and model execution.

Frequently Asked Questions about hype-hydrocraft

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate HYPE hydrology model setup for subbasin delineation and nutrient transport?

Automating HYPE hydrology setup requires orchestrating subbasin delineation, SLC classification, and forcing preparation to generate valid GeoData and GeoClass files. This workflow handles those steps end-to-end, including nitrogen and phosphorus transport configuration.

Can I configure LakeData and DamData for lake regulation in HYPE simulations?

Configuring LakeData and DamData for lake regulation in HYPE requires specific formatting and validation rules. This workflow automates LakeData and DamData configuration, ensuring parameter integrity for robust production runs with lake regulation.

What is the best way to calibrate HYPE parameters and validate par.txt files?

Calibrating HYPE parameters and validating par.txt requires built-in diagnostics and strict parameter-count checks. This workflow provides built-in calibration utilities and enforces parameter integrity to ensure reproducible, validated model runs.

Does HYPE support integrated nutrient transport and NPC-enabled simulations for basin-scale projects?

HYPE supports integrated nitrogen and phosphorus transport with NPC-enabled simulations for basin-scale projects. This workflow handles NPC integration, applying strict formatting and validation requirements for robust production runs.

Why does my HYPE workflow fail due to directory paths and formatting rules?

HYPE workflows fail when directory paths lack trailing slashes or when formatting rules are violated. This workflow enforces trailing slash conventions in paths and applies built-in diagnostics to prevent formatting-related failures.

Can I use geopandas and xarray for HYPE forcing preparation and GeoData generation?

Using geopandas and xarray for HYPE forcing preparation and GeoData generation is supported through Python-based orchestration. This workflow leverages geospatial and data array libraries to automate spatial data processing and model input creation.
