bandit's Issues

Add support for cascading HRUs

Currently bandit does not support extracting models which use cascading HRUs. Could this be added?

Output pretty error messages for missing source files

Output understandable error when source files (e.g. CBH, geoDb, NhmParamDb) are missing

Add ability to specify config file on the command line

Currently the create_merged_db.py and create_bandit_job.py scripts assume the config file is named bandit.cfg. It would be more flexible to be able to specify the configuration file when running those programs.

Move dynamic_parameters.py to pyPRMS library

The dynamic_parameters.py would probably better suited as part of the pyPRMS library.

NA values in source CBH files are empty entries in subset CBH files

The default behavior when writing a subset CBH file is to have an empty entry for NA values from the source. Because the separator in these files is a space and Fortran collapse multiple spaces you end up with zero values where you should during a PRMS model run.

Add capability for non-routed HRUs in gen_headwaters.py

Bad stream segment value crashes Bandit

If an incorrect stream segment (e.g. one that doesn't exist in the parameter database) is given in the config file bandit.py crashes with a key error.

Extracting non-connected basins

Need option to extract non-connected basins/watersheds to separate directories

Add capability to output CBH files in netcdf format

PRMS6 (in development) can process CBH files in netcdf format. It would be good to be able to provide CBH files for model extractions the netcdf format.

Add ability to restrict parameters based on modules selected

The ability to restrict parameters in a parameter file based on the modules select for a model extraction would reduce file size and confusion resulting from seeing non-related parameters.

Add ability to pull non-global nhmparamdb repository

Currently bandit works with a global nhmparamdb repository. In other words, there is a single copy of the nhmparamdb that is used by all bandit jobs. It would be useful to extend bandit to allow the use of local nhmparamdb copies on a per-job basis without affecting the nhmparamdb that is used globally. This would be particularly useful for calibration jobs.

Is there documentation or are there jupyter notebooks for Bandit?

I would really like to use this application to access NHM datasets.
Thanks so much.

Can bandit extract models from an existing model?

Could bandit extract parameters and model output from an existing model instead of from the paramdb?

Handling non-POI gages

Right now if a streamgage is not a POI in the NHM paramDb then is can be used or included as part of a model extraction. It would be useful to be able to attach non-POI streamgages to stream segments during a model extraction.

Need method of recovery when a proxy error occurs downloading streamgage data

When a proxy error occurs while downloading streamgage data the program crashes (see output example below). Should add logic to attempt recovery when this happens and provide a better error message when the program must exit.

Generate ASCII and netCDF files in a single extraction run

It would nice to be able to generate both the ASCII and netCDF formats of the PRMS files in a single extraction run instead of two separate runs.

Incorrect local tosegment values when multiple segments are given but only a few of the segments are outlets

When multiple outlet stream segments are specified the local tosegment values can be incorrect if the specified outlets are not all true outlets from the subset. This occurs when all stream segments in a study area are specified as outlets instead of just the segments that are truly the outlets of the subset (e.g. when doing headwater extractions).
