wps_convolution¶

wps_convolution is a process that runs the convolution module of a VIC streamflow routing model, called RVIC. To get started, first instatiate the client. Here, the client will try to connect to a remote osprey instance using the url parameter.¶

In [1]:
from birdy import WPSClient
import os
from datetime import datetime
from wps_tools.testing import get_target_url
from netCDF4 import Dataset
from rvic.core.config import read_config
from importlib.resources import files

# Ensure we are in the working directory with access to the data
while os.path.basename(os.getcwd()) != "osprey":
    os.chdir('../')
In [2]:
# NBVAL_IGNORE_OUTPUT
url = get_target_url("osprey")
print(f"Using osprey on {url}")
Using osprey on https://marble-dev01.pcic.uvic.ca/twitcher/ows/proxy/osprey/wps
In [3]:
osprey = WPSClient(url)

Help for individual processes can be diplayed using the ? command (ex. bird.process?).¶

Type:      method

We can use the docstring to ensure we provide the appropriate parameters.¶

Once the process has completed we can extract the results and ensure it is what we expected.¶
