Research direction

Start by reviewing the affected CTSM, MOSART, CMEPS, and CESM_CPL7andDataComps repositories and the existing sectoral water abstraction implementation. Confirm how the completed modeling, testing, and validation work is intended to be deployed to the main development branch, and identify the integration steps and acceptance checks with the listed coordinators.

Description

Hi!

I am a PhD researcher from VUB, Belgium (https://hydr.vub.be/people/Sabin.Taranu).
We have been working for some time now on implementing human sectoral water abstractions in the CESM model.
This includes abstractions for domestic, livestock, thermoelectric, manufacturing and mining sectors.
At the moment the modeling, as well as testing and validation, is completed. So we are ready to deploy the solution to the main development branch.

The repositories which will be affected are:
https://github.com/ESCOMP/CTSM
https://github.com/ESCOMP/MOSART
https://github.com/ESCOMP/CMEPS
https://github.com/ESCOMP/CESM_CPL7andDataComps

From NCAR, our main coordinators for this project are David Lawrence and Erik Kluzek.
Other people from NCAR who contributed to the discussions are: Sean Swenson, Naoki Mizukami, and Andrew Wood.

Outside the NCAR, the people involved or supporting this project are: Wim Thiery, Yoshihide Wada, Ting Tang, Yi Yao, Inne Vanderkelen, Steven Johan De Hertog.

For any questions, feel free to contact me at [email protected].

Best regards,
Sabin
