XSEDE ECSS priority list

  • Finish the Opal2 virtual machine for managing r.sun jobs "sol" on OpenTopography at SDSC Comet.

    • Establish a way OT can transition the tool to their dedicated allocation space.
  • Stand up an Opal2 virtual machine on Jetstream (with a clone on CyVerse Atmosphere) for user specified DEMs managing r.sun jobs on University of Arizona Ocelote HPC.

  • Complete Github Documentation for setting up new Opal2 Virtual Machines on Jetstream / Atmosphere.

    • includes build instructions
    • includes deployment instructions
  • Github documentation for setting up Singularity .imgs to run workflow on XSEDE or UA HPC services.

    • includes build instructions
    • includes deployment instructions
  • Secure .html page for running scripts (rather than Opal2 Dashboard).

Tyson's priority list

  • Integrate new climate variables for CONUS and Global coverage into the workflow:

Data:

  • Chelsa Clim
  • Daymet v3 -
    • Data are in Jetstream VM and on CyVerse DataStore
  • PRISM
    • Data are on CyVerse DataStore
  • PMIP3
    • Chelsa is deploying an upscaled version.
  • NASA NEX
    • NEX data are upscaled to 30 arc second for CONUS

Steps:

  • rename files to same conventional naming format
  • add flag to EEMT workflow to allow user to select which climate variable they want
  • (OpenTopography) add error messaging if the user selects a climate dataset which is outside of their DEM
    • Provide OT with shape files so their system can check the DEM coordinates via their pages.
  • Add SoDa-Pro Linke Turbidity (or MODIS Albedo) layers to r.sun workflow.

    • GRASS r.sun.mp has default Linke turbidity values, which can be replaced with a Linke turbidity raster for any location and month.
  • Add real Albedo layers t r.sun.mp workflow.

  • Add Cloudiness factor to EEMT

  • Update EEMT code to include new Climate data types.

  • Document all steps in in new CyVerse-GIS repository.

  • Deploy a high resolution time step version of r.sun.mp which saves the individual time steps

    • accomplished by changing the r.sun.mp run-master workflow to user GRASS 7's r.sun.hourly function
  • Deploy a version of r.sun.mp which uses different solar constants and accounts for Earth precession and obliquity during the Pleistocene / Holocene period.

    • accomplished by changing the constant in the r.sun.mp calculation
