Based on initial discussion here are draft objectives for 2026:
- introduce and evaluate irrigation driven by monthly activation maps
- intruduce and evaluate CaMa-Flood inundation flux
- introduce and evaluate runoff and infiltration fixes
- develop an hydrological calibration suite and explore the use of AI emulators
2025:
- test water extent by CaMa-Flood interaction with subgrid Open-Water (Flake).
- experiment on the shallow-water vertical exchange with focus on water and energy (eg. wet soil after inundation or lake retract, re-evaporation)
- investigate the runoff generation spottiness with link to daily report case studies.
- collaborate with Jasper the SDFOR/SDOR runoff generation sensitivity (Gp focus on water exchange and coupling)
- collaborate with Souhail/Gabriele/Francesca on the 9-layer sensitivities to hydrological changes
- collaborate with Patricia on the investigation of Africa drought motivating the OPER vs ERA5 differences
