PCR_GLOBWB_2

Automate PCR-GLOBWB 2 hydrological simulations by using a workflow that configures domain setup, converts forcing data, generates parameters, executes runs, and parses outputs. This reduces manual setup time and minimizes human error across global or regional basins.

Converting forcing data to PCR-GLOBWB formats is handled during the data preparation phase. The workflow processes raw inputs into the required NetCDF files and derives necessary soil parameter files before model execution.

Yes, you can run regional PCR-GLOBWB 2 simulations for specific basins. The workflow supports configuring clone maps and landmask settings for regional runs, automatically generating discharge time series and basin-averaged metrics for validation.

Yes, PCR-GLOBWB 2 workflow automation requires numpy and netCDF4 dependencies. These libraries handle data processing and read the NetCDF forcing files needed for parameter generation and output analysis.

Setting up a clone map and INI settings for a PCR-GLOBWB run occurs during the domain preparation phase. You configure the clone maps, landmask, and INI settings to define the spatial domain before executing spin-up and transient simulations.

Automating PCR-GLOBWB 2 workflows is limited by its intermediate implementation depth, requiring proper local environment setup. Users must correctly provide initial clone maps and raw forcing data to avoid errors during regional or global model execution.
