Abstract

This notebook has been developed to download specific variables at specific sites from National Water Model (NWM) Retrospective run results in Google Cloud. It has been set up to retrieve data at SNOTEL sites. An input file SNOTEL_indices_at_NWM.csv maps from SNOTEL site identifiers to NWM X and Y indices (Xindex and Yindex). A shell script (gget.sh) uses Google utilities (gsutil) to retrieve NWM grid file results for a fixed (limited) block of time. A python function then reads a set of designated variables from a set of designated sites from NWM grid files into CSV files for further analysis.

The input file SNOTEL_indices_at_NWM.csv was generated using Garousi-Nejad and Tarboton (2022), https://www.hydroshare.org/resource/7839e3f3b4f54940bd3591b24803cacf/.
