Hydrological Data Analysis Project Overview This project focuses on the analysis of hydrological data, specifically related to Snow Water Equivalent (SWE) from the SNODAS dataset. It includes the processing of geospatial data, extraction of time series information for specific locations, and a comparative analysis with ground-based SNOTEL measurements. The goal is to explore the correlation, biases, and other metrics between SNODAS and SNOTEL data across different elevations.
Features Importing and processing geospatial data using GeoPandas and Xarray. Clipping SNODAS data to specific basins and time ranges. Extracting time series information for SNOTEL sites and performing a comparative analysis. Creating visualizations to illustrate the relationship between elevation and analysis metrics.
Installation Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/sghimi14/HW_CodeMaintain.git
Usage Follow the steps outlined in the code to analyze hydrological data. Adjust file paths and configurations as needed.
