BandSOS system package

BandSOS Platform

Experimented on the Bengal delta in Bangladesh, BanD-SOS aims to establish a pre-operational service for forecasting cyclonic flooding and the associated societal risk. This service will have two components: a forecast of the flooding hazard in real time when a tropical cyclone hits the coast, and a coupling of this forecast with a mapping of the vulnerability of the exposed populations.

This repository contains the softwares and scripts necessary for running the BandSOS platform.

How to use

1. Install the conda envrionment using the enviornment_[platform].yml file
2. Create the following folders -
   1. config : the model configuration files
   2. fluxes : save directory for fluxes
   3. forecasts : save directory for forecasts
   4. scripts : other helper scripts
3. Run update_forecast.sh as daemon, separate process
4. Use the script bandsos.py to prepare the model simulation files
5. Use your preferred computing system - local, cluster to run the model. Take advantage of the helper scripts.
