Frequently Asked Questions

Models

Does the Data Preprocessor support X model?

The Data Preprocessor supports Noah-OWP-Modular + CFE, LSTM (Python), LSTM (Rust), dHBV2 MTS, dHBV2 (daily), SUMMA, SNOW17 + Noah-OWP-Modular + CFE, and Noah-OWP-Modular + SAC-SMA. Additionally, the Data Preprocessor generates configuration files for t-route (Muskingum-Cunge scheme).

We are currently working on adding support for CASAM. In the future, we plan on adding support for PET, TOPMODEL, SFT, and SMP.

Does X model have calibrated data?

Currently, only small portions of CONUS are calibrated for Noah-OWP-Modular + CFE. Calibrated parameters are found in our Community Hydrofabric S3 bucket.

Can I specify a custom model coupling?

Currently, that functionality is not supported. However, it is actively under development.

Can the dev team add X model?

If the model you would like to add is not listed above, please open an issue.

Data

What forcing sources do you support?

We draw our forcing data from either the NWM retrospective 3.0 or the AORC retrospective data.

Troubleshooting
