Hydrology data analysis project

This project contains hydrology-related outputs from two versions of the dynamic vegetation model CAETÊ (CArbon and Ecosystem Trait-based Evaluation model) which I developed during my undergraduate studies. The idea was to conduct raw data manipulation and data visualization methods to compare both versions. Ideally, I would benchmark the models with data from elsewhere, such as GLDAS satellite data, which I did not do here due to time constraints.

Versions

The two versions analysed here are:

IC-CAETE-DVM

• This version contains an updated hydrological module, with the implementation of an additional soil layer to the simulation, variable water retention capabilities derived from soil texture and a new runoff calculation system.

PVM-CAETE-DVM

• This version contains the previous hydrological module used on CAETÊ, which is based on the CPTEC-PVM model.

THE MODEL

The entire main version of the model is available here

• In data you will find the processed data from CAETÊ raw outputs by the shell script located in src. The raw folder was not included in this repository due to the size of the raw files, which exceeds GitHub limit.
• docs contains RMarkdown code, .bib and .csl used by the script and its output, the report in PDF format.
• The outputs folder contains outputs from R scripts, located in figs.
• src is where all code is located. R folder for R code, shell for Shell script.
