Terminology
This page gives the definitions for a set of important terms used within the DRIHM project. They are listed in alphabetical order.
Status: Green = Agreed by DRIHM project team, Amber = Under review by DRIHM project team.
| Term | Status | Definition |
| Calibration | To repeatedly run a 'set up' model, adjusting parameters after each run to ensure that the results are realisting and pertain to the study being undertaken. Each new run in a calibration process will produce a new 'model instance'. A 'model instance' which has gone through a calibration process can be referred to as a 'calibrated model instance'. | |
| DRIHMification | Prepare an HMR model for execution in the DRIHM infrastructure. Further details can be found in D4.2-C. | |
| Model Engine | The core code of a numerical model. In this project the software will perform environmental numerical simulations to study meteorology, hydrology, hydraulics and flood impact. | |
| Model Instance | A 'model engine' plus a set of static files required to apply the engine to a specific scenario, usually a particular time and place. | |
| river_discharge |
New Parameter Definition It corresponds to the "Discharge,stream" item in the CUAHSI-HIS ontology. |
|
| Set Up a Model |
The process of creating a 'model instance' with a 'model engine'. |
The DRIHM project organized the DRIHM Summer School 2014 on Hydro-meteorological modelling using e-Science environments. The school took place from September 22nd until September 25th 2014 at the Civil Engineering School of the Technical University of Madrid.
