WRF-Hydro v5.2.0 Standalone (NoahMP) — Knowledge Infrastructure

What problem does it solve?

This Knowledge Infrastructure enables fully autonomous construction and execution of a WRF-Hydro v5.2.0 standalone workflow (Noah-MP LSM with gridded routing) on any basin, removing the need for WPS/ArcGIS dependencies and providing a Python-centric, reproducible pipeline from domain creation to model execution.

Core Features & Use Cases

• End-to-end pipeline orchestration: domain definition, geo_em and wrfinput generation, fulldom/hierarchical routing setup, soil properties, groundwater, forcing conversion, namelist generation, and MPI execution.
• Reproducible, cross-basin experiments: standardized steps, diagnostic triplets, and validation guidance for cross-basin comparison across climates.
• Forcing integration and workflow hygiene: supports CMFD direct forcing, VIC-based LDASIN conversion, preflight checks, and pipeline metadata logging.

Quick Start

Run the full WRF-Hydro standalone pipeline for a chosen basin to automatically build the domain, convert forcing, generate namelists, and execute the model.
