If you are here, probably it's because someone has given you this link, or maybe you're looking for more information about the GEOframe system.
If you don't know what we're talking about:
GEOframe is a framework for hydrological modeling. You can find more information in the post
GEOframe Essentials.
This
GEOframe blog, along with the one by Prof. Riccardo Rigon,
AboutHydrology, is the main reference for the user community, where you can find all the necessary information. A good starting point is the article
GEOframe information for beginners.
The core of the framework, i.e., the code for the various models (or modules such as radiation, evapotranspiration, kriging, etc.), is available on the
GEOframe GitHub page with a GPL license. These modules are run within an
OMS console.
To be used, they need to be defined together with their inputs and outputs and connected to other modules using scripts saved in files with the ".sim" extension, commonly referred to as
sim files, usually saved in the "simulation" folder of the project.
In addition, the GEOframe system includes several
Jupyter notebooks useful for the creation of sim files, for the preparation of inputs (e.g., creating time series for rainfall and temperature), and for the visualization of outputs. In projects, these notebooks are typically found in the "Jupyter" folder.
A template for a GEOframe project is available on
Open Science Framework (OSF) by searching, for example, for the latest
Winter School—specifically the year
2024 edition, where the presentations are also available.
The notebooks for preparing kriging, radiation, and evapotranspiration can be found in this
Jupyter folder, and those for the hydrological model in
this folder.
Other models are explained during the
Summer School. You can check out the materials from the GEOframe Summer School at IIT Bombay, Mumbai, India (July 2024), available
here or
here.
Some examples of model usage can be found in the following recent presentations and papers (in chronological order, from most recent):
