SUMMA Simulations using CAMELS Datasets for HPC use with CyberGIS-Jupyter for Water

This resource, configured for execution in connected JupyterHub compute platforms using the CyberGIS-Jupyter for Water (CJW) environment's supported High-Performance Computing (HPC) resources (Expanse or Virtual ROGER) through CyberGIS-Compute Service, helps the modelers to reproduce and build on the results from the VB study (Van Beusekom et al., 2022) as explained by Maghami et el. (2023).

For this purpose, four different Jupyter notebooks are developed and included in this resource which explore the paper goal for four example CAMELS site and a pre-selected period of 60-month simulation to demonstrate the capabilities of the notebooks. The first notebook processes the raw input data from CAMELS dataset to be used as input for SUMMA model. The second notebook utilizes the CJW environment's supported HPC resource (Expanse or Virtual ROGER) through CyberGIS-Compute Service to executes SUMMA model. This notebook uses the input data from first notebook using original and altered forcing, as per further described in the notebook. The third notebook utilizes the outputs from notebook 2 and visualizes the sensitivity of SUMMA model outputs using Kling-Gupta Efficiency (KGE). The fourth notebook, only developed for the HPC environment (and only currently working with Expanse HPC), enables transferring large data from HPC to the scientific cloud service (i.e., CJW) using Globus service integrated by CyberGIS-Compute in a reliable, high-performance and fast way. More information about each Jupyter notebook and a step-by-step instructions on how to run the notebooks can be found in the Readme.md fie included in this resource. Using these four notebooks, modelers can apply the methodology mentioned above to any (one to all) of the 671 CAMELS basins and simulation periods of their choice. As this resource uses HPC, it enables a high-speed running of simulations which makes it suitable for larger simulations (even as large as the entire 671 CAMELS sites and the whole 60-month simulation period used in the paper) practical and much faster than when no HPC is used.
