ensemble module

Class definition for the ensemble interface

class ensemble.Ensemble(nens, dbname, resolution, startyear, startmonth, startday, endyear, endmonth, endday, name='')

initialize(options, basin, method, vicexe, saveindb=False, saveto='db', saveargs=[], overwrite=True, skipsave=0, initdays=90)

Initialize ensemble of VIC models using one of three methods: 1) deterministic (default): each ensemble member has an identical state 2) random: each ensemble member gets a random day from climatology 3) perturb: perturb precipitation and temperature

perturb(prec, tmax, tmin, wind, nens=None, perr=0.25, terr=2.0)

Perturb meteorological forcings.

readStateFiles()

Read initial state files for each ensemble member.

run(vicexe)

Run ensemble of VIC models using multi-threading.

save(saveto, args, initialize=True)

Reads and saves selected output data variables from the ensemble into the database or a user-defined directory.

setDates(startyear, startmonth, startday, endyear, endmonth, endday)

Set simulation dates for entire ensemble.

setStateFiles(statefiles)

Set initial state files for each ensemble member.

updateStateFiles(data, alat, alon, agid)

Update initial state files with data.

writeForcings(method, options)

Write forcings for the ensemble based on method (ESP, BCSD).

writeParamFiles(savestate='')

Write model parameter file for each ensemble member.

writeSoilFiles(shapefile)

Write soil parameter files based on domain shapefile.
